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 :
