So, I followed some instructions I found in the CUPS documentation:

However, the detection did not seem to know the printer's IP address. I do not know exactly what it does, but it did give me network detection of my Canon MP620 printer. MakeModel Xerox WorkCentre M20 Foomatic/PostscriptĭeviceURI ipp://195.178.75.62:1010/PS-0F00BD-P1ĮrrorPolicy two of the three things I did were specific for Canon printers.įirst, I downloaded and installed package cups-bjnp from Launchpad. Reason cups-ipp-missing-printer-state-reasons Reason cups-ipp-conformance-failure-report MakeModel HP LaserJet p2015d Series, hpcups 3.12.2 # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE WHEN CUPSD IS RUNNING # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.3 Are the lines like 'Reason cups-ipp-missing-printer-state-reasons' O.K.? This appears with red sign if I click Printers->propertises->ink/tonel level. The update from proposed did not solve my problem. I am now trying to figure out how to redirect the output of cups to a file so I can compare the two printjobs. The one laptop in my house which I have yet to 'upgrade' to 12.04 (running ubuntu 11.10 and cups 1.5) however connects to the printer flawlessly and prints fine. So I reboot the printer and try again this time installing the printer from unity. I installed the printer and it's ppd file via the cups web interface and tried to print a test page.Ĭups discovers the printer and sends it a file which then kills the printer (hangs with the printer LCD flashing 'processing' and also hangs the printers web interface).

I have a konica-minolta 4750en which worked flawlessly on 11.04 & 11.10 under cups either as an ipp network device or via USB.Īfter attempting to upgrade my desktop to 12.04 from a usb drive I hosed the system and ended up reinstalling a fresh copy (thank the penguin for dejadup). I also am experiencing problems with cups 1.52x on ubuntu 12.04.
