Can't get canon LPB6300 printer to work on a second machine

Hi
The printer I will refer to is reachable in my local network over ethernet and has a fixed IP address.
I got cups to work with my canon printer this afternoon on one of my machines. I searched the whole internet for howtos and I think the steps that finally got the thing working were the following:
1. Install capt-src from aur
2. Add myself to the lp group and relogin
3. Connect the printer and restart cups
3. Perform the following two commands:
sudo lpadmin -p LBP6300 -m CNCUPSLBP6300CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
sudo ccpdadmin -p LBP6300 -o net:192.168.1.2
and the result is:
sudo ccpdadmin -P
CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/
LOG Path = None
UI Port = 59787
Entry Num : Spooler : Backend : FIFO path : Device Path : Status
[0] : LBP6300 : ccp : //localhost:59687 : net:192.168.1.2 :
4. Start ccpd daemon
These steps worked on one of my machines. I thought I could perform the same steps on another machine to get it to work but until now I had no success. I tried to print a test page but cups immediately changed the new job to "completed" without printing something out.
The packages installed on the archlinux systems are the same, at least the one i checked (-Qs cups, foomatic, dependencies from aur for capt-src).
yaourt -Qs capt
local/capt-src 2.50-9
Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux. Compiled from source code.
yaourt -Qs cups

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your link but i don't think it has something to do with relinking libraries since i never had to to that on my first machine. I'm currently pursuing a different approach: I'm comparing the files used by ccpd and cups on both machines with each other. These are the results:
On the machine with working capt service:
http://pastebin.com/Fyif7zxz
http://pastebin.com/n0KQj14z
On the machine with defect capt service:
http://pastebin.com/rtUW5Gfm
http://pastebin.com/vh94E3Jv
One thing that i noticed is the two libraries resolv and nss which are used on the defect machine. Could it be that?

  • Can't get my hp printer to work wireless with my iMac

    I am so computer illiterate, it's not funny. I am really getting frustrated with trying to get my new HP Photosart all-in-one c7820 to work with my new iMac. This computer is awesome, but I am so used to pc's because that's all I have ever known. I connected the new iMac sucessfully to our wireless modem in the house, and connected the printer to the same wireless connection. They both say they are connected and working, but nothing will print. I DID get a message "The application HP Printer Utility quit unexpetedly" duting the installation but it didn't seem to matter, it said it was "installed successfully" When I try to print something, it seems like it's going to work, but it says stopped,and I can't get it to work.
    I think I am missing something with the wireless info or something.
    Anyone have any ideas? (In lamemans terms please)
    thanks,
    U

    Hi Ursula M-
    Actually I find that opening statement very funny! Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
    Have you tried going to the HP website and downloading and installing the latest driver for that printer?

  • How to set up LPD printer properly? I just upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.4.  I can not get my laser printer to work.

    OK, here is what I have found.  Since the printer is on an ethernet network it can not be seen since there is no more apple talk.  I must set it up as a LPD printer.  Xante tech support has told me how to do this but they are baffled by the fact that it will not print.  I am using a Linksys wireless/broadband router.
    These are my numbers:
    IP 192.168.1.110
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.188.1.1
    DNS Server" 66.103.237.2.66.103.251.130
    Xante has suggested using 192.168.1.112 and the printer is found and the print queue is opened and the following message is in the print queue window: Network host '192.168.1.112' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds...  Nothing ever prints.
    On this list I have seen a successful connection in the past through an airport connection.  I think that the number that Xante has suggested is not correct.
    I am able to print to this printer through another computer on the network that has not been upgraded to Leopard.
    Any thoughts?  Thanks

    The best answer to this question requires a little more digging.
    More specifically, what spare inputs do you have on the TV, and what video card are you currently driving.
    IMHO S-Video is going to give you about a poor a picture as you can get, mostly because of the limited bandwidth and the fact it's based around standard resolution TV (e.g. NTSC signaling).
    The best experience would be via HDMI, but for that you'd need a video card with a DVI interface, plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. If you don't have a DVI-based video card and you're OK spending a few dollars that would be your best bet, although off hand I don't know specifically which card you'd need - most of the modern cards are PCI-X or PCIe and won't work in the G4.
    If you don't want to replace the card then you'll need to let us know what kind of video card you have in it so that we can find the best match.

  • Can't get Canon Lide Scanner to work in PSE 10

    I just belatedly upgraded to Snow Leopard... and got my PSE 6 to run without freezing by using a suggestion posted by Barbara B. ("Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard") - deleting the Adobe Twain Driver.  My Canon Lide 80 scanner always worked smoothly in PSE 6 in Snow Leopard, but PSE 6 was crashing prior to removing the Adobe Twain plug-in.  Since I had not upgraded PSE in a while, I decided to download the trial of PSE 10 and put it through its paces before I purchased. 
    The first thing that I did was move the driver, ScanGear CS 7.2X into the import module as I had done in previous versions of PSE.  The next thing that I did was make sure that Rosetta was loaded onto my operating system.  I believe that with this new system Rosetta is automatically employed without having to put a check in the box as was with the case in Leopard, because there is no box to check, and the Apple care tech told me that it would run as needed.  When I boot up PSE 10, I receive the message, "One or more plug-ins is currently not available on your system...", the system info states that it failed to load and the ScanGear CS 7.2X plug-in does not show up as a choice for inporting. 
    This is a great scanner, so I am unwilling to dump it, PSE 6 works if worse comes to worse, but I would like to upgrade to PSE 10.  I am currently running on OS X 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Barbara B. wrote:
    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • Can't get Canon CanoScan LiDE30 to work with Macbook OS 10.4.11

    Hi, can't seem to install driver for my old Canon CanoScan LiDE30. The disk that comes with the scanner doesn't work. I've tried downloading the appropriate driver from the Canon website but I must be missing something - altho I get a message saying driver was installed, when I re=start my Mac I don't see the download anywhere and the scanner won't even start up when it is plugged in. Suggestions?
    Thanks

    I have the same Canon scanner on my Mac running Tiger. Click on my TMM name at left & send me an email. I'll then send you the necessary file.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw  .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word.  In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf.  Help!

    I have a Mac Air with 10.10 .  Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer.  I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages.  It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro.  It won't for emails.  In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed.  I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting.  In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked.  Need help.  Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
    Appreciate help in solving this issue.
    Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite

    Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite; keep getting "printer is not responding."
    I did try and install the driver for Mavericks first. I *have* deleted printer and appropriate /Library files. And re-installed using "UFRII_v10.06.00_Mac.dmg" which is the equivalent of what worked on the previous Macbook Air.
    We do use Dept. ID Management. I know how to set that up.  Although we do not use a PIN.  Again in other macs and computers that's not an issue.
    PAHU? :-)
    Thanks!
    David

    Hi David,
    Sorry for the late reply. Printer not responding is typically an issue with the protocol or the wrong network address. Easiest way to check that the correct IP address has been used is to enter the IPv4 address into a web browser on the Mac. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the C5250. If this does happen, then you know the IP address used to create the printer was correct.
    As for the protocol, the UFR2 driver supports LPD and HP Jetdirect-Socket. It does not support IPP. And there have been some users who have found even the LPD protocol will not communicate with the printer, so check that you are using HP Jetdirect-Socket. If you cannot remember what protocol was used when creating the queue, then you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and then select Printers in the left column. If you have more than one printer on this Mac, the top right pane will list them. Select the C5250 to see its information in the bottom right pane. Then look for the entry of URI. This is the print queue. It should show socket://ip-address, indicating the HP Jetdirect-Socket was used. If it shows lpd or ipp then you know one of the other protocols was used.
    Hope this helps. Reply if you need more assistance.

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

  • HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

    I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

    Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
    Reset the printing system:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1341
    Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

  • How can I get a netgear wgps606 to work?

    How can I get a netgear wgps606 to work.  Just bought a new mac mini running Lion

    If the printer connects to the USB port of this print server then for many brands of printer you cannot use the vendor provided driver. Instead you need to look at an alternate driver that supports this type of network connection. Gutenprint is one option and it is preferred because it is free. In previous versions of OS X it was included with the OS but with Lion it is not included so you will have to download it from here.
    If the above does not help then please reply with the brand and model of printer you want to connect to the print server. And it would also help if you could provide a bit more detail as to what your issue is.
