Canon Pixma IP4850 can't print CDs in Ubuntu
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:58 am
I have just bought a Canon IP4850 specifically to print CDs and am running the 30-day trial of Turboprint with a definite view to purchase provided I can get it to work for me.
My machine runs Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. I have installed the Turboprint application and configured the printer. I can print test pages to paper, run the printhead alignment utility, do everything with the exception of printing onto a CD. I can pick the CD tray as the "paper source", but when I submit a print from a graphic application which has the printer choice and properties set to the CD tray it just hangs. The job appears in the Turboprint monitor but that is all.
I tried installing Canon's own CD printing utility into Wine, which installed ok. When I try to run this it tells me there is no CD-enabled printer available.
Please can anyone offer some advice that can get this working?
Thanks,
Martin W.
