Turboprint not working in Ubuntu Gutsy (claims disconnected)
Turboprint not working in Ubuntu Gutsy (claims disconnected)
Hello!
I have been trying to get my Turboprint back to working state, but my setup keeps failing on "Printer not connected". I have a Canon Pixma MP150 and it is installed via Local Printer option. I have tried /dev/usb/lp0 (and did the ownership gimmicks in there) and usb://Canon/MP150 but no luck.
As a sidenote, all of this worked in feisty 100%.
EDIT: The printer is connect ok and shows up in dmesg.

Yes this works and the output is:Hello,
does the shell command
sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
list the printer (login password is requested by sudo)?
Code: Select all
direct usb://Canon/MP150 "Canon MP150" "Canon MP150 USB #1" "MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe;SOJ:TXT01;MDL:MP150;CLS:PRINTER;DES:Canon MP150;VER:1.04;STA:10;HRI:OTH;"
same problema here, I upgraded to gutsy and now turboprint don't work
my output to sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb is:

Hello,
the problem is not present on all installations of Ubuntu Gutsy and seems to concern all drivers, not only TurboPrint.
Access to the USB port device (e.g. /dev/usblp0) is not possible during printing. Either the access rights or the group seems to be wrong.
A customer has suggested the following workaround:
edit the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules"
and change the line
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", GROUP="lp"
to
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", GROUP="lp" , Mode="0666"
(access to the printer USB ports for everyone).
If someone knows more please post.

You need to run:
After you change /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rule according to the message above.
It works like a charm! Thanks.
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
It works like a charm! Thanks.
Running Gutsy, with Turboprint driving an MP390, I got the "not connected..." message on the :631 port when attempting to print. Everything had worked fine with Edgy and Fedora and Arch and Debian...
Taking a look at the URIs, Gutsy set me up with a
hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_ffffffff_ffffffff_noserial_
entry.
Arch Linux had set up CUPS with
usb://Canon/MP390%20Series.
On a whim, I changed to the Arch URI and restarted cupsys. Instantly the printer began printing the document that I had submitted 20 minutes ago.
SO. Ubuntu Gutsy seems to not configure hal/cups/something right. Or something else fouled things up.

Gutsy and the Canon MP750
changing the 40-permissions file and restarting udev worked perfectly
thanks for your help
