HI

I've had a canon bjc 3000 printer since a long time and it always
worked
fine under suse (with lpr). Now I installed debian/unstable with cups
and I have trouble getting it to work. I tried to fiddle around with a
configuration utility called gnome-cups-manager in which my printer is
listed. However, when I try to print a postscript file, the only thing
that happens is I see the upper half of the first line, and then
nothing happens anymore. In /var/log/cups/error_log I looked for
something
that looks like an error and only found is a 'send error' (see below)
Any hints?

HI

Following a hint in a usenet post I changed a parallel port setting in
my bios
from ECP to Normal. Now, the parallel port isn't 'busy' anymore.

stumpernickel:/home/jos# lpstat -p -d
printer BJC-3000 is idle. enabled since Jan 01 00:00
system default destination: BJC-3000


I managed to get into the cups web interface. My printer seems to be
listed correctly but when i try to print a test page only a
single line appears on the paper, and then the printer stops and makes
a funny noise once in a while. Not there yet... Maybe I should just
revert to lpd.

Have you tried setting the printer as a local printer instead of using
cups - this works on Man 10.1

Is this first line printed correctly? If so, then maybe the computer
is pushing data too fast for the printer and handshaking doesn't
seem to work as it should.

IIRC, there's a program like lptune (sp?) that allows you to set
some characteristics of the parallel interface, including its timing.
I had similar problems with some rather old printers and was able to
solve them by adjusting the timing.

So long,

Managed to get it to work using the usb connector instead of the
parallel
port. Did the configuration using the webinterface
(http://localhost:631).
