Re: Canon Linux driver not working
Is there a driver for the ImageRunner already in the preloaded drivers in your install? CUPS generally has a fairly wide number of ready drivers.
Does the ImageRunner support PostScript? If so, you can always just use the PPD file either from a PostScript driver for another OS, or from Canon directly. Looking at the US page, they offer a Windows exe with all of the PPD files for multiple models, including the C5030/C5035.
I've used PPD files to allow many different *nix and Mac systems to print to devices that don't have a specific Linux driver, and it's always worked without any issues.

Re: Canon Linux driver not working
Thank you for looking at our problem blsquires although I confess I am not too sure exactly what it is you are suggesting. The Canon driver we are using, was downloaded from the Canon website atCode:https://www.canon.co.uk/support/products/imagerunner/imagerunner-advance-c5030i.aspx?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:14-1506758&os=Linux%20(64-bit)&language=
Are you suggesting using a driver for a totally different machine and if so, can you explain which one please. More than anything else it is the colour when printing from a computer that is the problem. We do not have any other A3 printers.Leave a comment:

Re: Canon Linux driver not working
just a suggestion,try adding another printer using the second one for printing to the copier and name it differently so anyone who wants to print to the printer can select it and if they want to staple excetra they can use the copier printer.Leave a comment:

Canon Linux driver not working
I originally posted this in the wrong forum and was asked to move it here. Here is a link to my original post.Code:[URL="http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/canon/131480-canon-linux-driver-not-working.html"]Canon Linux driver not working[/URL]
Code:imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5030i - Support - Download drivers, software and manuals - Canon UK
Code:UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver for Linux V3.50
If, from the computer, I select the printer options and print a test page that prints properly. However, if I select to print a ‘self test’ page the output says, and I quote, “If you can read this, you are using the wrong driver for your printer.”
Can anyone suggest what to do to get our printer working properly please?
Edit. Mint 18.3 with a Cinnamon desktop is the current stable version and has long term support. All machines are fully updated
