Printer Canon Pixma iP1500 does not work in Ubuntu 10.04
I have tried many solutions in the web but all do not work in Ubuntu 10.04.
Printer install but does not print at all.
there are many people with this problem for what I can see on the WEB.
Please, does anybody can guide How to install Canon Pixma iP1500 printer in Ubuntu 10.04.
thanks,
Richard
I also had these problems, and I found the solution on the German Ubuntuusers wiki (http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Canon-Drucker, especially http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Canon-Dru...n#Links-setzen - sorry, that article is in German only): The problem is that the PNG-DLL is now located in /lib instead of /usr/lib as it was obviously until Ubuntu 9.10.
Start as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500. Alien will give you some error messages, but they did not have any adverse effect for me:
That was step 6; I omitted the last ones. You may proceed with the remaining steps later, I think.Code:wget http://software.canon-europe.com/files/soft22415/software/iP1500Linux.tar.gz
tar -xzf iP1500Linux.tar.gz
sudo apt-get install alien
cd iP1500
sudo alien *i386.rpm
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libpng12.so.0 libpng.so.2
sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so.3
sudo ln -s libxml2.so.2 libxml.so.1
Now, find the name of the printer filter:
You will get an output like this one:Code:cd /usr/local/bin
ls -l
The filter needed is "bjfilterpixmaip1500" (row 4).Code:-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3200 2005-04-08 09:11 bjcmdpixmaip1500
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13740 2005-04-08 09:11 bjcups
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42316 2005-04-08 09:11 bjcupsmon

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51820 2005-04-08 09:11 stsmonpixmaip1500
Find the tiff and png-dll needed:
My output was:Code:ldd bjfilterpixmaip1500
Code:linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00fdd000)
libcnbpcmcm214.so => /usr/lib/libcnbpcmcm214.so (0x00d06000)
libcnbpess214.so => /usr/lib/libcnbpess214.so (0x00bad000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0x00735000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0x00db1000)
libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x009b1000)
libpng.so.2 => not found
libcnbpcnclapi214.so => /usr/lib/libcnbpcnclapi214.so (0x007e2000)
libcnbpcnclbjcmd214.so => /usr/lib/libcnbpcnclbjcmd214.so (0x00c5f000)
libcnbpcnclui214.so => /usr/lib/libcnbpcnclui214.so (0x00a11000)
libpopt.so.0 => /lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x00134000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x0013f000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x00e47000)/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00d51000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00328000)
libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x00110000)
As you can see in row 7 of the output, the driver libpng.so.2 is missing. You can find the missing dll files by entering
I gotCode:/usr/lib$ ls -l libtiff* libpng*
Well, we're almost done - the first row shows us the wrong link. Just go to the /lib directory and create a symbolic link to the dll needed:Code:lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-05-24 16:10 libpng.so.2 -> libpng12.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2009-03-08 15:06 libtiff.so.3 -> libtiff.so.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2010-05-01 11:37 libtiff.so.4 -> libtiff.so.4.3.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 366580 2010-01-22 13:14 libtiff.so.4.3.2
That's all. The printer is installed. Go to System - Administration - Printing, and add the printer. The Pixma iP 1500 driver should be listed, and printing should work, at least afterCode:cd /lib
sudo ln -s libpng12.so.0 libpng.so.2
sudo ldconfig
If you connected the printer with your router (like me, I use a Fritz!Box router, its USB port is connected to the printer), you may choose in the relevant dialogue Appsocket/HP -> JetDirekt, and fill inCode:sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
Host: 192.168.178.1
Port: 9100
Choose the relevant printer and print.
Last remarks: I am not an Ubuntu geek, and it is quite possible that there is a shorter or more elegant way to install the iP1500 printer. However, that procedure worked for me, an I hope it will help you, too. :)
Thanks for the tutorial; it worked like a charm on Linux Mint 10 (Ubuntu version).
Anyway, I managed to find out how to get more printing options once the driver is installed (Grayscale printing option, as well as quality options--economy,standard etc.) . (here)
You need to edit the canonpixmaip1500.ppd file:
change theCode:cd /usr/share/cups/model/
sudo cp canonpixmaip1500.ppd canonpixmaip1500.ppd.install
gksudo gedit canonpixmaip1500.ppd
to something likeCode:*NickName: quot;Canon PIXMA iP1500 Ver.2.50
and replace this:Code:*NickName: quot;Canon PIXMA iP1500 Ver.2.50 Grayscale
with this:Code:* OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
* DefaultResolution: 600
* Resolution 600/600 dpi: quot;lt;lt;/HWResolution[600 600]gt;gt;setpagedevicequot;
* CloseUI: *Resolution
Now add a new Canon printer with the new driver and set it as default.Code:*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: quot;2quot;
