drivers for remote printing
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2025 12:01 pm
Hi
I have a Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 II. It's a good printer, but I can't get drivers out of canon anymore for this thing, which led me to Turboprint.
I want to print from two workstations - a Mac and a Linux one that I mainly use for Photography (Darktable). I purchased a 3 license version as I assumed I'd need that.
I've put Turboprint on a Raspberry Pi and am sharing from Cups.
My question is this: Where does the PIXMA 9500 print driver reside? Should I have a raw queue on the Pi and the driver on the workstation? or the correct driver on the pi? I've tried the IPP Everywhere driver, but then on linux, I don't have any options to set paper, print quality etc. And when I print, it seems to print fast, not the slow care it does at high resolution. If I select A4 borderless, it completely scales it wrong and uses the wrong colour palate.
Any pointers how to set up this print chain properly?
Thanks Dominic
