Printing to a RAW CUPS/SAMBA/Linux Printer

How do I specify drivers for a pass-through printer setup. I have a linux file/print server with an Canon PIXMA IP4300 printer connected via USB to the linux box. I am able to add the printer using and URI smb://host/printer. The problem is that it is not a PS printer and I need to specify the driver explicitly ... how do I do it under Mac OS.
Works great from WinXP boxes using the canon drivers.
thanks for any help

The problem is that the Carbon drivers Canon provides have the comm protocol (USB) specified - they by-pass the CUPS backends and therefore ONLY work for USB. You need a CUPS driver to do network printing (OK - exception - Canon's Carbon drivers include network comm if the printer has networking built-in - still by-passses CUPS, though).
Get a driver from www.printfab.net. Only way I know of, sorry...

    Oracle does fully support raw devices. For a mini cookbook, search on "raw device". I've put up a mini story on how to make raw redologs.

  • Create the raw devices under Linux

    Hi,
    Hoe can I create the raw devices under Linux?

    Hi,
    I just have created two raw devices,
    1, /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices
    /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda2

    Why?

  • Can't print pdf via CUPS / Samba

    I have a printer set up on a Linux server, which is shared in an office of Windows machines. It works flawlessly, I can print anything except for pdf files. On the client side there are no visible error messages or anything, but nothing happens, and no trace of the printing command in CUPS logs.
    Locally, from the Linux machine pdf's can be printed without any problem, but I can't do that via network from Windows machines.

    Operating system?  Reader version?  Can you post a screenshot of that unavailable option?

  • Printing using CUPS in Linux

    As I understand it Java 1.5 is supposed to allow printing using CUPS (rather than lpr) in Linux.
    I cannot get this working. Java does not seem to be able to see the CUPS system at all. Is there something I am missing? I have tried my own programs which work fine in Windows and programs from the tutorial.
    Thanks.
    Alan

    I don't know if this is helpful but
    System.out.println(printJob.getPrintService());
    shows
    IPP Printer : Brother
    I wonder if it should show
    IPP Printer : //Rubinpc:631/printers/Brother

  • Network browsing with Samba, Linux and Windows

    I'm having trouble with OSX 10.4.8 and a SMB network. My
    server is running Linux Debian, and exporting shares via Samba.
    I have a couple of XP boxes on the network, and they can see all the shares in the workgroup, and can mount them.
    However, from the OSX machines, when I click on 'connect to server' and then click 'browse' I get an empty box.
    If I enter the server share manually, (smb://server/share)I can mount it as normal.
    Also, if I go to the terminal, smbtree shows the entire tree correctly (the same as viewed from XP). Also smbclient -L server shows a list of
    all shares, and nmblookup returns correct data.
    I can ping all the machines, and they are all on the same subnet.
    I have recently done the following:
    on the Linux Samba server:
    set OS level to 255
    set domain master yes
    set local master yes
    set wins support yes
    preferred master yes
    From the Windows machine I can see the whole network, including the Mac. I can also mount the user's home dir which is shared on the Mac.
    From the Mac, I see nothing when I click 'browse' from 'connect to server', but still I can connect if I manually type the path. Notably, I cannot the Mac listed in it's own browse window.
    From the Mac terminal I can see the whole network using smbtree, including the Mac and it's share.
    The Mac smb.conf file sets the os level to 8, and wins server to the IP address of the Linux Samba server.
    smbclient -L localhost -U also works, showing the local machine's NETBIOS name, and the shared home directory.
    If I run nmblookup -M WORKGROUP, the master is reported as 192.168.168.2, correctly.
    However, nmblookup -T 192.168.168.2 does not work. I don't know if it should.
    Any help / suggestion would be appreciated.

    There's going to be something about that OS Level setting, I think.
    Check your Mac's setting again (yours is 8, I see.)
    Make Debian's OS Level not quite so high?
    Disable mac's OS Level completely? (comment using semicolon)
    Something

    remembering to restart samba server at mac and/or Linux after any changes to SMB.conf?
    I'll keep looking. I run a similar network (Linux, Win x 7, Mac x 1) and it "Just Works"

  • How use raw device in linux?

    Hi all.
    scene:
    oracle 8.1.6.1
    Linux red hat 6.1
    I'm trying to create a database with raw device.
    In HPux the raw device is /dev/rdsk but I found no documentation for linux raw device.
    thanks for any help.

    Prove it: try to create file large than 2Gb on 8.1.6 under Linux (under NT it works) and try to use raw partitions. About Pmon ORA-601 simply check Metalink.
    I know Oracle, it is my work. I like Oracle database. I think, Linux is the best OS. But i want Oracle to solve current bugs more quickly, for a customers could not say "Oracle on Linux - it ***** ". Because, customers must to know about problems to avoid it. It is a more biger problem, when database is crashed.

  • VISA do not find RAW device in linux??

    Hy. I have usb device with product ID and vendor ID. My operational system is Linux Fedora. Linux system find my device,but Labview (VISA) do not find this device.Can somebody tell my, where is the problem??

    Hello qwqwqw,
    Dennis is correct, and that is the document you want to reference.  Specifically, Part 4 is about USB on Linux and Mac.  Officially though, National Instruments does not offer email or phone support for Linux Fedora.

  • On Mac OS 10.5, can't print to Linux CUPS printing server

    We attached a USB printer to a Linux server, which is CUPS1.3.8 installed.
    The printer is Epson Stylus CX5900.
    Printing from another Linux with CPUS is OK.
    But I can NOT print from my MacOSX10.5 system.
    I tried IPP, SMB, no success.
    Visit the http://127.0.0.1:631 on Mac, the CUPS on Mac even can not discovery the printer shared by Linux server.
    If I add added the printer as samba on MacOS, it will report
    /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/Filter/rastertoescp.app/Contents/MacOS/ras tertoescp failed
    I see many users report printing issues on MacOSX10.5 on the Internet.
    What's the matter?
    As I know, MacOSX10.4 can print to printer on Linux CUPS server.

    Slow down a bit and think this through.
    CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
    And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)

  • How to print from linux to Mac printer using cups - password?

    I think that I have done the correct things to share my printer from my OS X 10.4 Mac mini (my MacBook is happy to print on the Mac mini printer), and my Ubuntu Linux computer seems to be ready to print using cups. Linux can see the printer on Mac mini, but when I try to send a print job the Mac refuses access. I assume the problem is that the Linux computer needs to send the Mac a password, but I don't know how to do that -- where in the sequence of information coming from the Linux computer the password should be, what format, how to get the Linux computer to send the info through lpadmin or the GUI. All that.
    Can anyone help? Preferably with step-by-step instructions for the complete idiot. I have seen FAQs on printing, but there is no information about passwords. And most are focussed on smb rather than cups.

    I use linux and print through the Mac - but I don't have the trouble you are describing.
    There are 2 places to enable print sharing on Mac - have you done both of those?
    What protocol are you using - the easiest for CUPS is IPP (port 631). I have an Ubuntu computer at home - describe exactly how you add the printer and I'll be able to follow through.

  • CUPS: Printing to remote printer

    Hi,
    I need help with setting printer using CUPS.
    I have laser printer (that supports only PCL) connected to one of LAN computers.
    This computer has Fedora Core 5 Linux with CUPS.
    Linux and Windows computers are printing to that printer without any problems.
    I would like print to that printer from Solaris 10 computer that has CUPS.
    I have access to remote printer using:
    http://localhost:631/admin
    and can watch it's jobs and print test pages.
    I downloaded suitable PPD file for the printer and put it to:
    /opt/sfw/cups/share/cups/model
    and executed command:
    /opt/sfw/cups/sbin/lpadmin -p le232 -E -v ipp://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232 -m Lexmark-Optra_E-hpijs.ppd
    Now I see this printer on:
    http://localhost:631/printers
    After I tryed to print a test page, printer status changed:
    Description: le232
    Location:
    Printer State: stopped, accepting jobs.
    "Print file was not accepted (client-error-bad-request)!"
    Device URI: http://10.0.0.201:631/printers/e232
    Whats wrong?
    What should I do to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    I found solution on: www.lengers.com/?p=12
    That works.
    But now I have a new problem: instead page what I sent, it prints some junk text (it's probably PostScript).
    I added printer using lpadmin command and use it with lp command.
    maybe should I use lpr command?
    I user the same *ppd file as on Fedora Core 5 print server and there it prints correctly.
    Do I need some kind of convertor or filter (my printer understands only PCL)?
    Thank you.

  • [SOLVED] - Printing to a Windows XP printer

    I've already installed cups, samba, gutenprint, foomatic and hplip packages.
    I need to print from my arch laptop to a printer linked to a Windows XP desktop pc.
    The printer and the desktop are elsewhere, so I had to link my two pc with a vpn using Hamachi.
    The printer is a HP Laserjet 1200.
    I tried to figure it out with the web cups interface.
    I chose "Windows printer via Samba" and as URI "smb://HamachIP/HP1200"
    HP1200 is the printer name on my Windows XP pc.
    If it can serve I set in both computer "CASA" as workgroup.
    As ppd file I used this.
    If I try to print a test page the printer doesn't do anything.

    It may be a problem with permissions on the Windows side. 
    Check the security event log on the Windows box (can be reached from Administrative tools from the Control Panel)
    You may either set Windows permission to allow the world to use your printer -or-
    Change your printer address to be of the form:
    smb://windowsUserName:password@HamachIP/HP1200
