canon ip 1500 will not print

Hi !

See this page for instructions

http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/

tell me if you need more help to proceed

Here on OpenPrinting the result for your printer:
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP1500

Please try this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500

Hope this helps

I think adding the repository is easier. But do as you like

When i'm searching and i'm answering you Olivier give you a simpler method to resolve it
I strongly sugget to try first Olivier instructions... !

Thank you

Hi Oliver:
Thanks for your rapid response. I am a nubi to Linux and it will take me
some time to get up to speed. I tried apt-get install libcnbj-2.5
bjfilter-2.5 pstocanonbj
from the command line , but could not get it to take.
 Marcobi sent me a much more complicated method that I have not tried yet
. I will leave the wine off tomorrow and give it a try.
THANKS again.

Hi Marcobi:
As I told Oliver , I am a nubi to Linux and it is going to take me some
time to get up to speed. I did not have any luck with Oliver's method, but
that may have been my fault. Yours is much more complicated and I have been
with the wine bottle too long today to give it a fare chance. I will try
tomorrow and let you know how it works out .
THANKS

Hi !

you first need to add the repository as explained in the first link I gave you. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu for details on how to do that.

The repository you need to add is

deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./

Olivier, for a newbye some more detailed instructions may help, so:

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Append this row to the juust opened sources.list file:

deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/debian ./

Save the sources.list file and exit, then type:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.5 bjfilter-2.5 pstocanonbj

Cupsys will be automatically restarted and you can select printer in cupsys configuration (http://127.0.0.1:631/). Vendor is Canon and Driver is, for example, "Canon PIXUS iP8600 ver.2.5".

So open the internet browser and type into address bar: http://127.0.0.1:631/
and create and configure the printer.

Hope this helps

You don't have permission to access /~takushi/debian/ on this server.

I have sent email message to the repository maintainer to dress this issue...

Hope this Helps

Hi Marcobra:
When I check my Synaptic Pk Mgr. I have "mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/main"
listed. not jp/~taushi/debian
 could that be the reason that "pestocanonbj" will not load?

post here the output of the command

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

You may have an error in that file.

deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/debian ./
 This is listed in "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"

After trying myself, you need indeed the libcupsys2-gnutls10 package. Grab it here http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cupsys/libcupsys2-gnutls10_1.2.7-4_all.deb

ans try again the following command

sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.5 bjfilter-2.5 pstocanonbj

I downloaded the package from the site.
applied :sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.5 bjfilter-2.5 pstocanonbj.
The libcnbj-2.5,bjfilter-2.6 and pstocanonbj. now show as installed on the
synaptic pkg.mgr.
 Still will not print a test page or anything else. The canon pixma ip1500
is shown as the default printer. ???

Please go through the manual printer install and be sure to select the right driver. it should be Canon PIXUS iP1500 ver.2.5

Hi Olivier:
Where do I find the procedure for manual installation of the printer? Do I
have to remove it first and if so how?

I won't be able to answer that question precisely, since I use KDE and do not have GNOME installed. You should have an item such as "printer" in the Administration menu where you will be able to delete your current printer entry and add on by hand

Printer problem solved!!!!!
I deleted the printer , recycled the computer and it found and installed all the right stuff. Printer works fine now. Marcobra and Olivier, thank you both very much for your patients and help
