I am getting incorrect colors on Canon PIXMA MP240 with CUPS 1.5.3-0ubuntu6 + gutenprint v5.2.8-pre1.
The print is yellowish and has high contrast (missing dark shades of colors). I am using Kubuntu 12.04 "Precise" with color management enabled for the monitor. no printer profile installed.
Same result with all printing applications (GIMP / PhotoPrint) and any driver settings I have tried.
I start to be frustrated and cannot fix the issue. Possibly there is a bug somewhere. Help needed. Below is my findings.
The ppd-file /etc/cups/ppd/MP240_series.ppt contains the following line with a reference to a .ppd that does not exist. (see below) There is nothing in my /usr/share/cups/model
*StpPPDLocation: "/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.2/C/ppd/stp-bjc-MULTIPASS-MP240.5.2.ppd"
