Re: CLC3200 on Linux Mint. No output at all and no errors
Sorry I have been a long time answering. It is a bad time of year it seems. Lots of things to do all of a rush
I am not sure what you meant by the Mint repository but in any case I have been doing some work on my own here.
First off, after some help with the script from friends on the Mint forum, I managed to run the installation script 'cque'. That enabled me to set up a printer queue. The output was the same. No error messages, just no output. On the computer everything looked fine. At least now I had a HUGE selection of ppd files. If those are the ones you are asking for, sorry no can do. There are simply too many as I would have to type them all in manually.
Anyway, out of the list I found the ppd file for an iR3220 PS so I saved it on a networked machine. Next I reinstalled Mint (32 bit), completely overwriting the original, so a totally fresh install. Next, by going to http://localhost:631/admin I attempted to install the driver. Something I had not been able to do before as the page had been giving me error messages. When it asked for the ppd I pointed it to the one I had saved so that was okay.
According to CUPS the printer was installed without error. However, the same problem persists. I can send test and other pages to the printer, no errors get reported but no output. By the way, just in case you are thinking I have a network problem, I can ping the printer okay.
So there I am at present. I have a fresh installation of Mint with nothing except all the security updates added. I have not installed the Canon driver file but used CUPS to 'Add a printer' and still no output.
If you were a bit nearer I'd ask you to visit and look at it. I'm stumped.
