Can't print PIXMA 1200

Post by harddrago »

I got an error Unable to open device "hal:///org/Freedesktop/hal/devices/usb_d"

I have install Turboprint under kubuntu.

But the printer response when I define a color scheme.

Hello harddrago,

if your printer is connected via USB, you should use the TP-USB driver for sending the printer data. This is selected when setting the printer up in the TurboPrint Control Center (menu "Connection").
The table showing all TurboPrint printers lists the port connection in the URI field. The mentioned "hal://" device may not work - please make sure that either "tpu://..." (for TP-USB) or "usb://.." (normal CUPS USB driver) is used. Monitoring the printer while printing is only possible if the "tpu://" device driver is used.

Probably you are setting up the printer with the Kubuntu printer setup. Please use TurboPrint Control Center - there you can select the connection entry with "TP-USB" suffix.
