Our previous printer was a Canon CLC3200 We used CQue.2.0 to create the queue and that worked without any problems right up to and including Mint 18.3. I'd expect the printing to be successful but check on whether the options sent (duplex, for example) are acted on by the device.Ī little background. The printing system is now obliged to produce a PostScript file that is sent directly to the printer. Rename the file to something like c5030i-ps.ppd and set up a print queue with it in your usual way.

Copy this PPD somewhere and edit it to remove the line beginning *cupsFilter. There is a Canon PPD in /etc/cups/ppd from when you set up the printer with the Canon drivers. I tested that a printable file is obtained but cannot know (obviously) how the printer will behave. I have never done it myself but it's worth a try. Sorry if my inadequate testing raised your hopes. A shame really printer-driver-gutenprint 5.3.1 has a PPD for your printer and, IMO, gutenprint would get it working. For such an important library I am not prepared to advise upgrading it nor would I want to guide someone through the process. Please keep it on hold indefinitely! I messed up and did not notice a greater version of libc6 is required. I am going to sign up for that printer tech support forum and see if they will talk to me. On the printer panel the paper sizes all correspond to what is in the various drawers. Reading through those two documents it seems to me that I must log in somehow to make any changes although I do not see what changes I could make that would help. I cannot log in as an administrator as I do not know the System Manager ID or the System Manager PIN and cannot log in as an end user as I do not know that pin either.

The default paper size is set to A4 yet the machine always complains about A3. It seems that no matter how much I try I always get the same error message from the printer.
CANON C5030 DRIVERS PDF
I have looked at the links that you provided for the pdf and html manuals. As the output from the revised command you suggested was okay that is the least of my worries. I have no doubt that the information is out there - somewhere. In fact I looked around the internet quite a lot but seem to be unable to find any references to the apt switches anywhere. I had read apt man page when I ran into the problem and long before I posted (there is no ‘help’ page).
CANON C5030 DRIVERS UPGRADE
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 26 not to upgrade so no problems there (Thank goodness).
