[SOLVED]Failure to print to iP90 after upgrade of OS
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 12:10 am
For two years my Canon iP90 has served me well on a 32bit system running Magaeia 2. Time
to move up to Mageia 4 I thought. The printer was working fine yesterday on Mageia 2 but
after the installation of Mageia 4 I have had no luck with either CUPS or Turboprint.
Both insisted that the printer was switched off or not connected. I even tried the
latest version of Turboprint without a key and succeeded once in getting a test page.
After a reboot the ip90 was incommunicado again. I tried removing and plugging in cables
but to no avail. After 12 solid hours of this I have to admit defeat. Any thoughts?
I have specified 'other' for the printer connection and a URI of
usb://Canon/iP90?serial=107B08. Using the Gutenprint IP90 driver.
Tailend of dmesg:
