The 64bit version is now available in the download area (http://www.turboprint.info -> Download -> AMD/Intel 64bit).

Hello, Canon PIXMA iP6600D & iP6700D drivers are now available in the current TurboPrint 1.95-2.

Hello, there was an ink status problem with TurboPrint 1.95-1 & Ubuntu, this is fixed in TurboPrint 1.95-2.

Hello,

we didn't create profiles for Ilford papers for the latest drivers as Ilford papers are no longer available - please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello,

a correct iP5300 driver is just being finalized, should be available next week (TurboPrint 1.95-2).

The problem might be something else than the network transport (please try if printing with local USB connection works).

You could post the logfile /var/log/turboprint_cups.log (or the portion of the last print job from it).

It seems that the file format of the file to be printed cannot be recognized or converted by the CUPS printing system.

You could post a portion of /var/log/cups/error_log where this print job occurs.

A possible problem is: The printer device name is set to /dev/usb... in TurboPrint Setup / xtpsetup. With CUPS 1.2.x or higher this is no longer possible. Use the symbolic name "usb://manufacturer/model" instead (e.g. "usb://canon/ip2000" - use the drop down list in xtpsetup next...

Hello - thank you for your request!

At this time no drivers for "postcard" photo printers are planned - this may change in the future.

Hello,

yes, please use

rpm --upgrade turboprint-1.95-1.i386.rpm

which retains your current configs.

Additionally you can also save /etc/turboprint/turboprint.cfg to back up your configs if you should have to remove TurboPrint and install again.

For installation from console the Turboprint RPM must be in the current directory, e.g. download to your home directory (/home/<username>). Before entering "rpm --install ..." you can enter ls turboprint-1.95-1.i386 If the file was not found please change directory cd /home/<username>

Open a command line and execute

sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb

to get the correct usb://... string.

Hi, please select the entry "usb://manufacturer/printer" (e.g. "usb://canon/ip4300") from the drop down list next to "Connection" field instead of "/dev/usblp0" or "/dev/usb/lp0". Note: it is no longer possible to use /dev/usb... with newer Linux dis...

Hello, do you mean that you have to wait only if duplex is turned on? It is true that the page is always reversed even if there is only one side to print on. There is no "quick fix" except to turn off duplex. I will investigate if there is a better solution for a future TurboPrint version.

Hello, the reported error nessage "'marc.darkstar': invalid user": invalid user is probably a result of the "." in the user name - we will try to fix this problem in the next release. However, this should not affect installation of TurboPrint except the two desktop icons "Tu...
