Empty Canon iP4200 URI on Arch linux
Posted: Sun May 09, 2010 2:49 pm
For a few years I have used Turboprint on Ubuntu without any problems.
Now I have switched to Arch linux.
When installing from the AUR I got the deamon running (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18313)
Yet I have trouble to add the printer, a Canon iP4200.
The URI is not automatically set correct.
I followed this probably related post:
http://www.turboprint.info/support/viewtopic.php?t=619
The output of "sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/tpu" is:
direct tpu://Canon/iP4200 "Canon iP4200" "Canon iP4200 TP-USB #1" "MFG:Canon;MDL:iP4200 TurboPrint" ""
When entering tpu://Canon/iP4200 as URI and completing the wizard I get the error:
Printer configuration could not be saved.
Possible problem: Network printer not available or USB printer is not switched on.
What am I missing here?
(the printer is switched on b.t.w. and I have root privileges)
Thanks in advance
