SUSE 11.4 & Canon PIXMA ip2700 - won't print

English Hardware
#1

Hi,

So, I plugged in the USB, and it gave me a couple of options, incl ip2000 series, so I clicked through, then I tried to print a page, and nothing happened, tried to print a test page… nothing…

so I went here to try get drivers:
HKL/Drucker

Printer propperties tells me:
Idel - rendering complete

any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

#2

So I deleted the printer, re-installed the drivers, plugged in the printer again.
Suse recognised that it is a canon, but only had an option for iP2000 series, not the iP2700,
…when I try to print the test page or a document, it processes it …and seems to think it printed, and goes back to idel?

any ideas?

#3

And the logs?

I also downloaded “cnijfilter-ip2700series-3.30-1-i386-rpm” from canon.com
There are 2 folders - “Packages” and “Resources” and a install.sh file in it…
I ran the “install.sh” file, it asked for my password, but nothing happened!?

#6

Canon

Do you read this?

Plesae do not dobbleklick the install.sh, open a terminal, go to the folder where install.sh is, type

su

enter root`s password and then run the script:

./install.sh

Then you will get an output.
