Canon MF4350d

Have updated my system to 11.4 (Fresh install) and installed the driver from canon, and when you print the test page, it prints fine. But it now when i want to print a pdf or web page where it will say printer data error on the printer. Another thing is that it seems to print fine when the document is plain text like if i print a document from libre, it will print or when i send a print test page.

Also when the document does not go through, the cnpkmoduleufr2 sits in memory and then chows 50% of cpu.

In 11.3 worked beautifully so am thinking that this is a software issue.

Maybe this bug:
Various printout failures with CUPS default “RIPCache 8m”

See here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing/Intro#Various_printout_failures_with_CUPS_default_.22RIPCache_8m.22](http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing)

Thanks for the link, did have a look, and did try the work around, but does not seem to have worked. But have setup the printer via the network, and can print that way via a windows client, so i will go that route for now, until a fix is released. At least that way i can print a website page if need be.

I have same issue after updating to 11.4.
Using Canon 4150d with latest drivers from Cannon on 64-bit system.
Plain text, vector images are printed fine. But when printing raster images or text/vector as image cnmpkmoduleufr2 eats 50% cpu (one out of two cores) and doesn’t print.
Have tried to increase RIPCache to 1024m with no effect at all.
In 11.3 all was working.

Also read this , and did upset me a bit, as i thought something like this should have been in the release notes!, and i read the release notes before considering the update, and this was not mentioned, so if i had known this, then i might have thought twice before updating.

Replacement of the cups-drivers package

Up to openSUSE 11.3 the cups-drivers package was a huge all-in-one package which contained several actually independent printer drivers and several sets of PPD files.

Since openSUSE 11.4 the following printer driver and PPD files packages are split from the cups-drivers package and the cups-drivers package itself is dropped:

gutenprint: the Gutenprint driver and its matching PPDs
splix: the SpliX driver and its matching PPDs
m2300w: the m2300w driver and its matching PPDs
OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript: PPDs for Ghostscript built-in drivers
OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs: PPDs for the HPIJS driver for non-HP printers
OpenPrintingPPDs-postscript: PPDs for PostScript printers

Most of these are provided as separate packages. Go to YaST>Software>Software
Management. Search for Splix, Gutenprint and PPD ( check the provides box)

Hi,

I somehow fixed this problem on my computer (Debian Unstable).

I’m using this driver: Canon MF4200 Series UFRII LT ver.2.2

I think I fixed it by installing the latest version of ghostscript (“apt-get install gs”), but I was trying all sorts of things, so I’m not sure. Good luck to others!

I have the same problem in opensuse 11.4 (64 bits), my MF4010 only accepts to print text. Images or pdf won’t print.

I have those lines in /var/log/messages :

kernel: 2438.330344] gs[8355]: segfault at 0 ip 00007
fcd420593ad sp 00007fff75c62610 error 4 in libgs.so.9.00[7fcd41c3c000+54d000]

I found this topic (in german) : Canon MF4140 druckt nicht mehr › Drucken, Scannen, Faxen › Forum › ubuntuusers.de that confirms the problem vanishes with gslib 9.02

But there is still no newer rpm available in suse.

I can confirm this is a Ghostscript 9.00 / 9.01 bug. A possible workaround is installing an older version of Ghostscript - one is still available here: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_Factory/, it is version 8.62. YaST does not like it, since there are some applications depending on Ghostscript 9, but printing with my Canon iR 1020 works with this version. You may also try Ghostscript from openSUSE 11.3 (available in official 11.3 repository).

Regards,
Pushkin
