Canon Pixma IP4700 doesn't print on CD's

Post by nkukard »

I've tried combination of the settings...

CD Printable + Auto
CD Printable + CD Tray
Plain Paper + CD Tray

No success, printer doesn't even blink. It seems to be flat out ignoring the print job if sent to the CD tray. No matter how many jobs you send, they come up as success but nothing happens on the printer at all.

If I select plain paper auto, it prints my label on a piece of paper fine. Printing plain paper with the CD in the tray obviously generates a 6 blink flash error.

I used to use my PiXMA ip4300 with no problems at all with Gutenprint, but it died today.

Hello,

can you please post the log file /var/log/turboprint/print.log after trying to print on CD - just post the part for the last print job starting from "### new print job".

Is this what you're after?

I tried very many print jobs, the result of them are the same though.

Regards
Nigel

Thank you!

I still can't determine where the problem actually comes from.

Could you please send more information:

- from which application did you print
- send the log file /var/log/cups/error_log after trying to print to CD

As this log file can be quite long, please email to "mail at zedonet dot de" (replace at by @ and dot by .)

printing using lpr and a postscript file.

I'll truncate all the logs, then send you the ps file plus all the logs.

I'm using the exact same ps I used for the Pixma IP4300, which uses the gutenprint ppd.

Give me a few hours to get the files for you.

Have upgraded from TP 2-06 to use new iP4700 and have the same problem.
Have followed instructions above and emailed my template and logs direct.

Hello,

thank you for your feedback!

You wrote by email that after removing and adding the cartridge again it printed on CD, but the output was shifted to the lower right by 1cm.

So there may be two problems:

1. CD printing not working reliably
2. wrong position

About Problem 1:

Does it always take "two tries" to get something printed on a CD or is the behaviour "sporadic"?
We noticed with some Canon printers that the printer does not always recognize the CD tray, maybe because it doesn't find the position marks.

Problem 2:

There is a problem (bug?) in the current version of OpenOffice Draw that causes the output to be wrongly positioned - see also this thread:

http://www.turboprint.info/support/viewtopic.php?t=642

Possible workarounds are:

- increase page with or height in the page layout dialog, e.g. width = 14.1cm
- use a different application, e.g. OpenOffice Writer or GIMP

Why is this happening? I also experienced the same problem.

Can you specify what your problem is, for example:

- CD tray not fed (orange printer LED flashes)
- CD printed, but not centered
- ...

Please include information on the application used for CD printing (e.g. OpenOffice, GIMP) and attach the log file /var/log/turboprint/print.log after trying to print on CD (section for last print starting from "### New print job" is sufficient).
