You should get something similar to this: CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/Įntry Num : Spooler : Backend : FIFO path : Device Path : Status Sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP1120 -o /dev/usb/lp0 "Register the printer in the ccpd daemon setup file." (At this point, verify in main menu, under System/Printers, that the name of the printer recorded there is exactly LBP1120). So, as I am lost using nano, i tried sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nfĪnd added the above (nf was an empy file and i just pasted those lines) Then comment the file to look like this, canons driver does not talk to the printer through cups: # cups talks to the raw USB devices, so we need to blacklist usblp to avoid Ubuntu documentation says: "* Note: Ubuntu 12.04 has again blacklisted the usblp module which creates the /dev/usb/lp0 device link. So, both these ports need to be open in the firewall setting.)"]Īccordingly, I had to enter sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E (The file /etc/nf defines UI_Port 59787 and PDATA_Port 59687. This will give you a headache if you do not change it. The manual says ccp://localhost:59687 but Ubuntu by default is using 59787. Sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -m CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E ["making sure that you change this line accordingly: Step 5 in the manual ("Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler.") is amended by the Ubuntu documentation page.(i got a terminal message saying that i could just as well use

It was my case: So, I had to run : /etc/init.d/cups restart In this case, enter the "For rpm packages" command."]

I have a new solution (tested in eOS and with 2.6 driver) - presented here. In fact my answers here for 12.04 and 12.10 stopped working after a while in Xubuntu and Lubuntu too, but I let those here because they seem useful to others that voted this up. It should work in the same way as for 12.10 below.īut trying that in the 12.04 Ubuntu-based eOS Luna, I was not able to make it work. Below is an answer that presents the same solution but is much clearer.

In time this answer became very long and cluttered as far as Ubuntu 12.04 - 13.10 are concerned.
