Hi.<br><br>How do I install a Canon IP3000 printer on a Fedora 12 <br>This server is an old computer (Intel Celeron 1000 Mhz). If has a Biostar M6VLR motherboard (Trident Cyberblade chipset). I mention<br>this because so far, Xorg+KDE or Xorg+XFCE performance has been awfult, ultra slow worst than molasses. <br>
Nevertheless on level 3 things work speedy enough.<br><br>I just want it to work as a printer server + file server. I am not printing from this computer, so I do not mind if it works as raw printer.<br><br>Therefore I removed everything graphic ( groupremove(X Window) )<br>
<br>My problem is installing my Canon IP3000. It used to work. I'd print to <a href="http://server:631/printers/Canon_IP3000">http://server:631/printers/Canon_IP3000</a> and everything would be fine.<br>somehow I erased that configuration and I am starting from zero.<br>
<br>I installed cups (1.4.2-28.fc12) and cups-bjnp (0.5.4-4.fc12) <br><br>I messed a little to be able to go into the administration menus from another computer in the network. (Allow other_pc:631)<br>Nevertheless after I configure everything I cannot see it nor recognize it from the network although it is supposed to be shared. <br>
<br>I tried configuring from lpadmin but gave up, I need to study a lot more to use it I think.<br><br>I need some guidance and clarification in here.<br><br>I read that cups_bjnp had like its own server or something like that on port 8411, but the documentation is quite skimpy there.<br>
<br>Has anybone worked this out? Do I need also any PPD file to download to make this all work?<br><br>I am thoroughly confused here.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>------------------------------<br> /\_/\ <br> |O O| <a href="mailto:pepebuho@gmail.com">pepebuho@gmail.com</a><br>
