Re: Cups and printer conundrums

Hello All, More not working, uninstalled Canon LBP-5050N network printer and removed network cable, then set it up with a USB cable. CUPS sees and identifies, including serial number, but a test page is still sitting there, cups saying sending data to printer for around an hour. I will want to try installing the Windows software on a Windows box and see whether I can make it work. I suspect that the 2.60 CAP printer filter/driver may be defective, else the interface board. What is puzzling is that I can log into the FTP server in the printer, and ping the printer, but that CUPS does not get through, and the same with the USB setup. Regards, Mark Trickett
