How can I install Canon LBP2900B on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ? I tried the method for the installation of LBP2900, but it didn't work.   I tried installing the CanonCaptDrv190 as outlined in the Community wiki and answers #1 by Alvar. #2 by SarveshM @  but neither approach worked for me. The printer is switched on and has pages in tray and connected through USB.  EDIT: I followed the Ubuntu 13.10 installation method of Community Help Wiki again. Now I get this   On command 4 (sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults) -   update-rc.d: warning /etc/init.d/ccpd missing LSB information  update-rc.d: see  System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/ccpd already exist.  On seeing captstatusui for LBP2900, I get -   Message : No Specified Printer  In the below box I get - Check the (Printer asterix,asterix,asterix (the symbol)) of /etc/ccpd.conf  I tried your method, Elder Geek but it didn't work.  Any more ideas?  Regards, Andy

Printer MP6150 driver installed itself upon plugging in the printer. Printer is recognized  (lsusb shows it) but does not mount. If the printer is recognized, the driver must be working (or?), but something is blocking the system from mounting the printer.

Why does this happen? Everything else printable with uname is shown. I am not looking into fixing this. Even the manual page of uname says that it's a common output.  I just want to know why.

I have a HP MFP127fw.  It's "supported" by Ubuntu 17.10 - except print jobs will not release from the print que because a special copywrited driver for HP is not installed.  I went through this with 16.10 and had to install a small HP driver that I found with Synaptic.  Then the jobs would release. It isn't part of HPLIPS.  Apparently Ubuntu 17,10 version doesn't run synaptic due to Wayland.  Where can I find this driver?

I downloaded Linux CAPT driver V2.60 from Canon and installed both .deb packages, which were listed under the 64bit folder with Ubuntu Software-Center. My Canon printer still won't be recognized. Is there anything else I have to do? My printer is connected over USB.  Ubuntu would make a great replacment for my office, but unfortunately without printer support I will still rely on Windows.

I have read about this on , the articles were a few months old though.  Is there an official guide from Ubuntu on how to do this?

When I used Linux Mint earlier I never faced a problem with printing on GIMP (because it was installed and configured by default).  When I used Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I installed GIMP 2.10 from the software center. Everything is working fine on GIMP except printing.  The GIMP print window does not list my printer (or any other printer). I can only see:     Print to File   Print to LPR     I tried couple of troubleshooting tips without any success. I'm sure that the problem is from GIMP because I can print from Chrome /Firefox and from PDF reader without any problems.  PS: I don't know if this help but in the software center I found printing documents permission disabled for GIMP. I tried to enable it, but it gets automatically disabled again every time.    Any info/tips are highly appreciated.

I am trying to install my Canon MP280 printer to my recently upgraded Ubuntu focal 20.04.  This printer worked out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 18.04 on same hardware (HP Folio 1040), so I am surprised to find it does not work quite so well.  I've tried two paths:   system-config-printer:  This leads me to either install a generic text-only driver, or a list of non-matching Canon printers.  Either way I cannot actually print anything.  install proprietary driver as described .  This ultimately fails due to a dependency to an arcane version of  whereas libtiff5 is the only available on 20.04.   Did Ubuntu leave my printer behind?

I am trying to get my printer setup to both "Print" and "Scan", yep, I need to do both. Both attempts (yep, I've gone thru this twice).  The First time I was able to print just fine, but the scanner didn't work, xsane was complaining about hpaio, etc.  After I installed the ://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html  AllInONE software I was able to print and scan, then something went wrong  (THIS IS THE QUESTION ???)  ALL Print jobs immediately get put in "HELD" status, if I "RELEASE" them, they immediately go back to HELD.  Currently,  I am able to scan (perfectly might I add) without any problems, I installed the HPLIP from ://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne  website after following some thread, it appeared that would solve my issues.     Working from , I am able to get a clean installed but when I get to the Synaptic steps, I appears to me that HPLIP is installed multiple times as the HP LIP Device manager report software version:3.12.2 Device Mgr: 15.0 (Qt4) while synaptic is reporting:3.11.7-1, which in the synaptic window appear NOT to be installed. In the synaptic window I only see "openprint-ppds" and "pxljr" as being installed.  Do I need to removed packages and start over , can I get back to "Out-of-the-box" easily ?  I'm guessing by installing the opensource version I shot myself, but I'm thinking that I wasn't able to scan or something, that why I ended up following the links to HPLIP support.  If I can forward any output (eg: HP-CHECK -t   which is clean, no warnings/errors) just ask !  Thanks for your attention and help,

I have an existing PDF with a totally black background and all text is white.    Is there a way to get the text to print black and the black background to not print at all?  I have Bluebeam and Adobe PDF.

How can I fix an inkjet printer where one of the colors isn't printing well anymore?  My  has served me well for a few years, and I print color and B&amp;W material on a regular basis. A few days ago, the cyan has developed a defect -- the printout is striped, so some lines aren't getting printed. This affects all colors that have a cyan component, so color printing (and greyscales!) are ugly, striped, and miscolored.  I'm guessing that the print head itself has become clogged. Is there any way I can fix this?   I've tried the clean and deep clean functions in the printer's software many times  (not just twice but maybe 15 times),  and replacing the cyan ink cartridge, and printing several all-cyan pages,  but the cyan is still striped.   I am considering taking it apart, cleaning the nozzles, and putting it back together again. I'm handy with tools so there's a fair chance it would work, and if it doesn't work afterwards then not much is lost because it doesn't work well now either.

What does DPI mean and how does it affect images displayed on screen versus printed?

Upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04. I have a workplace printer connected through appsocket which stopped working.  Printer status is Idle-Filter failed.  Printing queue instantly goes to "stopped".  Right clicking on the printer shows "option finishings has value 3 and cannot be changed". I can't find any info on this error except one pdf to ignore the error.  The printer model Ricoh MP 2555 worked previously with the Ricoh MP C2800 driver. Now it works with neither 2800 or 2555.  The IP address of the printer pings fine. When I try and detect the printer on the network using IP address and I ask it to use the Ricoh MP 2555 driver, it asks for an additional driver which opens Ubuntu software (which never helps) and fails.  I tried changing drivers from "" by providing the ppd file. It still doesn't help. var/log/cups/error.log doesn't tell much, or I don't get it.  Hope someone knows about this error or some kind of a generic solution.
