i was slightly ;) surprised as well - since this Cannon printer is relatively old model ( I think 2009 ). Si today i put a side 4 hours to learn the intricacies of CUPS. http://www.openprinting.org/download/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/VII.cups-help/VII.cups-help.html#Supply http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_printing_problems and ended up with tons of cumbersome debug information ...
the solution was simple - i picked the next model in the list of the available models in Print assistant ( or whatever that gui app is called). so instead of selecting 5000 model, i choose IR5570 and it nicely printed the "test page". oh well .. just a click away :) On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 1:18 PM, Paul Robert Marino <prmari...@gmail.com>wrote: > Well vendors often create "X86_64" packages that have i686 dependencies > mostly because the weren't paying attention when the compiled it, so that > happens. > As far as cups just not working that's rare.
