This is used to help with running a club so problems would be embarrassing. Having recently installed Mageia 2 on the laptop I had to reinstall the printer. This has been a total disaster.
My first attempt was with tpsetup - no printer detected so I had to try to guess the URI but messed it up. Tried CUPS but no driver for it so I handpicked one from TP.
(The list offered for local printers was parallel ports 1 and 2 and Other - different from what the documentation suggests.) That sort of worked but printing was incredibly slow; the monitor kept on flashing a warning triangle and posted a message that the printer was either off or disconnected (!). As far as I can recall, CUPS reported
Code: Select all
queue ip90, Local Printer, URI usb://Canon/iP90?serial=107B08, Driver Canon_PIXMA_iP90
Code: Select all
Connection other (CUPS URI), URI file:///dev/null
I had tried to print using the lp and lpr commands and both ran without errors but as reported, no output.
Code: Select all
lpr -Pip90 ticket.ps
lp -d ip90 ticket.ps
