I cannot print with the printer Canon laser shot LBP1120

Asked by bulldozer on 2014-02-03

Hello everybody. I'm using a Canon printer with Kubuntu 13.10, the problem is that the printer does not work and I don't know how to fix it. I've tried using the Canon drivers for this model but they don't work. I press the print button and I get this message: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2v16jw2.jpg

The model of the printer is: Canon LASER SHOT LBP-1120
I installed the drivers using the Kubuntu installation wizard. K menu -> System settings -> Printers -> Add new printer.
It is really weird because the system detects the model of the printer but it does not work.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, thanks. I am trying to follow the installation instructions of this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190

The first command line works fine:
* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]

But the second command line does not work. I type this into the terminal:
sudo lpadmin -p LBP-1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:631 -E

and I get this message: lpadmin: «Bad device-uri scheme "ccp".»

What does this message means? And again thank you very much.

Please send us the full Terminal output of these commands:

ls -lart /usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp

ls -lart /usr/lib*/cups/backend/ccp

You will probably need to create a symbolic link to the location where ccp is really stored.

Ok, here it is the full terminal output:

ls -lart /usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp: No such file or directory

ls -lart /usr/lib*/cups/backend/ccp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16422 dic 2 2010 /usr/lib64/cups/backend/ccp

The first command line seems to not found the file or directory ccp, but I think that the second command line works fine.

Try this command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/cups/backend/ccp /usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp

Then retry this command:

sudo lpadmin -p LBP-1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:631 -E

Somehow, the command needs to be able to find ccp

It obviously cannot find it in /usr/lib64/cups/backend

That is why I think you need to create the symbolic link.

Ok, all the commands line work fine now. But the printer does not work yet. I get the same warning message when I try to print: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2v16jw2.jpg

I think that it is a problem related to the drivers. What could it be? Thank you.
