Canon ip1880 and Opensuse 11

[pr14o]

I have trouble to installing my new printer canon ip1880 into my opensuse 11 operating system.

I already download this file
cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm and
cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386.rpm from the net, but i found some difficulties because the dependencies still showing error to my system. I already search, mark and install through YasT in Opensuse 11 dvd but still shown same error such as libxml,... etc.

Can any one help me?

welcome to the opensuse forums;

so you need some extra libraries installed;

I am wondering if your system is set up; so that; using the internet, it can go to the specific suse repositories; and get what is missing; and install them;

so if you go to YaST; (sounds like you are already familiar with YaST and entering root password etc??) then in YaST select software repositories; and tell us what if installed; if NONE are installed, you should install the four that oldcpu recommends:

oldcpu says:

I recommend only OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman. No others. None. You can add others ONLY after you learn more about the risks, implications, and how to resolve problems.

it was taken from this posting;

Canon printer drivers - openSUSE Forums

I suspect from this posting on Ubuntu

Ibam's Blog: Canon PIXMA iP1880 Printer in Ubuntu Feisty

that you may need libtiff3 and libgtk1.2 and libxml1

so let us know how your list of repositories looks;

if NONE are installed, you click on ADD on the list screen;

then at the top of the next page that opens when you click ADD, select community repositories; then select the four that oldcpu recommends in the above quote

as always, google is your friend;

here is a post

Unsupported Browser

where the author very kindly describes how he successfully installed your ip1880 to run on 10.3 suse;

he needed GTK & libxml;

after installing the two canon rpms he did three further steps:

1) you need to restart cups before registering your printer.

[root@zzz /yyy]# /etc/init.d/cups restart

2) register the printer to the spooler

[root@zzz /yyy]# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP1800 -m canonip1800.ppd -v cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -E

3) set the default printer

[root@zzz /yyy]# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -d IP1800

About the internet that is another problem that i still can resolve, you see i using dualboot system winxp and opensuse and i also have broadband connection through cable modem (motorola SB5101) and the problem is i still can not connect opensuse to the net , but there is no problem if i using xp (through DHCP). Even I already try to configure the modem, isdn, ethernet to DHCP through YaST, but i still can't connected to the internet (I stuck in provider). In XP there is no need to configure the provider everything is automatic. Thats why I still can fully migrated to Linux.

But for now the most importing is how to configure my printer first, thanks for the answer.

Hi,
I have some problem,when I was installing of Canon Ip 1880.I have done for installing. Then,I try to do of three further step as abbove,but in the second step like this-->
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP1880 -m canonip1880.ppd -v cnij:/dev/usb/lp0 -E
Then I found problem,like this-->
lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file!

So,I'm waiting for your help,,, thank you...

[pdc_2]

these commands need to be run as substitute user (su) also called root so you need to enter your root password; and that is signified by the hash # at the beginning: did you do that..

also: I note a subtle difference in syntax:

the command I quoted from the website said:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP1800 -m canonip1800.ppd -v cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -E

whereas you type

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP1880 -m canonip1880.ppd -v cnij:/dev/usb/lp0 -E

I have not performed these steps myself: I quoted them as they are recommended on the website I mentioned;

many folks recommend that you "COPY and PASTE" any commands that you see recommended; both into a terminal, and when you post on the forum:

when using the terminal, you are best to use the menu on the top line of "EDIT" and then go down to select "PASTE" as the terminals do not usually use control+V but something like Shift+Control+V

let us know how you get along

Hello and thanks to all those that make our life with Opensuse easy and better every day.

I have OpenSuSE 11.1 x64 working in my computer and a Canon IP1800 printer. I have read the entire content of this thread, so:

1. I downloaded the cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm and the cnijfilter-ip1800series-2.70-1.i386.rpm files from the Canon service web site.
2. Checked the installation of the dependencies for both of them; "libtiff3 and libgtk1.2 and libxml1" (from pdc_2: 03-Dec-2008, 00:17), "GTK & libxml" (from pdc_2: 03-Dec-2008, 06:57).
3. Installed the two rpm files (With that I learned how to configure a local repository!)
4. Run a little script with the orders (like root user):

# 1. Restarting cups before registering the printer.
/etc/init.d/cups restart
# 2. Registering the printer to the spooler
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP1800 -m canonip1800.ppd -v cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -E
# 3. Setting the default printer
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -d IP1800
(Again, from pdc_2: 03-Dec-2008, 06:57) ...

But I obtained this in the console:

# sh last_config.sh
Shutting down upsd...........done
Starting cupsd...............done
lpadmin: Bad device-uri "cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0"!

The result is that the printer still does not work under OpenSuSE, and I need to print a document.

What I am making wrong? Can somebody help me?, please.
