Re: [expert] cups again
The bjc-250 does work without the extra lines that seem to effect the other drivers. However, there is no colour and quality is poor on a bjc-620. I have just noticed that the foomatic drivers (which I used on Mandrake 7.2) are not present in kups, qtcups, web interface etc, even though I have the foomatic-1.1-0.20011012mdk rpm installed. A forced rpm install of all the cups stuff has not made any difference, so maybe the foomatic drivers will - except they do not show up to be selected. How do I install/select these drivers?

On both my HP 4000 and Canon S450, I had a somewhat similar problem. When I first loaded cups in the install, and I asked for a test print, sometimes (2 out of 6 tries) I would get a blank page printout for the first sheet, and then the regular printout. The HP 4000's control panel indicated that it was printing from root, whereas the true test page came from /home/andre. I never bothered to track this down until I had problems with the Canon jamming on a job. I took forever to erase the print queue. I finally found a method that corrected my first problem (that extra page) and the job-jamming. Using Kups-CUPS Administrator, I entered "Properties" and "changed" (actually reset the same driver. Solved both problems. Might be worth a try - for my part, I can't understand why these oddball things happen, but that was an acceptable workaround for me. (Of course, each time it happened I would have to re-discover how I fixed it. Finally, I wrote it down in my fix-up booklet!)

Re: [expert] cups again
Thanks Andre, I tried the turboprint driver, but the problem is the same. Before every page, I get a page (for every page in the print job!) with 4 ascii lines: BJLSTART ControlMode=Common AckTime=Short BJLEND Greping the disk shows some binary files like libgimpprint.so have these lines in them, hence the search for a different driver. However, it appears to be a general cups problem, perhaps a "setting", but I have no idea where it is!

www.linuxprinting.org is always a good place to look. This link should take directly to the a cupsomatic PPD file for the bjc620: http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-o-matic.cgi?driver=bjc600&printer=62080&.submit=Generate+CUPS+PPD You must also install the cupsomatic program also available from linuxprinting.

[expert] cups again
It appears that Mandrake 8.1 doesnt support my canon bjc620 printer. The drivers I have tried either dont work, or print 4 lines of ascii on a separate page as well as the page I want to print. I cannot find any of the Foomatic drivers used on Mandrake 7.2 in the software manager so I am stuck at the moment. I did see a page on Mandrake user.org a while ago about installing a particular revision of foomatic from Mandrake 7.2 which might fix the problem, however I cannot find the page now.

Hi, I have a cups problem under mdk8.1. I am getting a single page with: BJLSTART CONTROLMODE=Common AckTime=Short BJLEND before the printjob proper. Banners are off and I cannot find any settings that would do this. The printdiver is set to BJC6200. BillK Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] CUPS again ...
Same Deal - kups etc just mark the job as cancelled, and go's on and prints it anyway! Only seems to work if the job is in the queue behind other jobs. Once it is at the front of the queue, it WILL be printed unless I manually delete the queued data (rm -f). If I select print with the printer POWERED OFF, cancel the printjob (with kups or whatever), wait 5 minutes and then turn the printer on - it still prints.

RE: [expert] CUPS again ...
No, its not the printer buffer - its actually cups still downloading the data until the end of the file. I you have 100 pages of complex graphics - a very large file, it still insists on downloading the lot! I am not at the machine at the moment, but on the "jobs" html page, it actually shows as "cancelled" and "downloading bytes to lp0" or similar.

RE: [expert] CUPS again ...
It might be possible that the pages continuing to print are those that have already been sent to the printer. A home inkjet (Epson 660) seems to hold about half a page in its own internal memory - so if I cancel a job after it has started printing, it usually has about another half page to print before it stops. If you are printing to a laser printer, it might hold a great deal more in its own RAM therefore the printer might keep printing for a while after you cancel the print job. You may need to cancel the job at the printer as well if this is the case. Hope this helps Aaron
