Canon Pixma iP1500 Slackware 10.1
Hi, I' trying to get a pixma iP1500 working on slackware 10.1. I googled it a bit and I gound some rpms which i converted to tzg : bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.tgz, bjfilter-pixmaip1500-2.50-2.i386.tgz, bjfilter-pixmaip1500-lprng-2.50-2.i386.tgz.
Most ppl say they are supposed to work :). I installed them , configured my printer with cups on canon_usb/dev/usb/lp0 ( A pixma ip1500 ver 2.50 driver ) like it is supposed to be and then when i test it it just blinks one time and that's it. When i run a lp /etc/motds it says : request id is pixma-10 (1 file(s)) it blinks and that's it : the output of dmesg : .......................................... hub.c: new USB device 00:10.0-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5d8/0x4002) is not claimed by any active driver ....................................... hub.c: new USB device 00:10.0-2, assigned address 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4a9/0x1091) is not claimed by any active ( a also have a scanner which doesn't work yet ) :) ............................................................ usb.c: registered new driver usblp printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x1091 printer.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver ...................... parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (polling). the output of lsusb : Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05d8:4002 Ultima Electronics Corp.

Hi again, i turned debug on and i found some error messages :
It complained about the libpng it should be 10 and it's 12 in slackware 10.1. I did a symbolic link but now it says : no version information available. And I can't find libpng10 for slack anywhere. :( |
Now I am using Vector Linux 5... but it's based off of slackware 10.1 (I think my version is anyway)
I have a solution! (and I registered just to post this) I assume you have installed the packages. I converted them to tgz first, just because I like to do that. Well, so long as you installed those three packages. #su #[password] #cd /usr/lib #ln -s libxml2.so.2 libxml.so.1 #ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2 The rest should be straightforward? :) |
thanks a lot for taking some time to load and post that solution. It didn't work for me first ( i have 10.2 now) but it suggested me a little tweak I tried
#ln -s libpng.so.3.1.28 libpng10.so.0 and it worked just great. Hope many users will find this thread cause i saw a lot of questions like this on the internet . |
