TurboPrint & PrintFab

Here's the feisty bug, by the way:

I have a similar problem on an MP600.

I solved it by checking the permissions of /dev/usb*

Turned out that cupsys runs as user "cupsys", which needs to be in group plugdev. This is on Ubuntu Feisty. So check

ls -l /dev/usb*
ps aux |grep cups
grep plugdev /etc/group

If that is the case for you ...

MP600 also not working here. Ubuntu Feisty with turboprint free 1.95.

Yes, I get usb://Canon/MP600

But entering that, using connection type = CUPS URI does not change anything! Also tried Connection=Local printer. Still no testpage!

direct usb://Canon/MP600 "Canon MP600" "Canon MP600 USB #1" "MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe;SOJ:TXT01;MDL:MP600;CLS:PRINTER;DES ...

There is no usb: entry.... Trying to enter manually...

I'm having a very similar problem on Ubuntu Feisty and using an MP600.

if I do "echo hello > /dev/usblp0" logged in as root, the display of the printer lights up, but nothing is printed.
