OKI network printer on Slackware 14 / CUPS

Fission Chips · 03-06-2017, 11:21 AM

I'm trying to get my OKI c511 running on Slackware with CUPS. CUPS seems to be running fine, the printer is found over the network and configured but when I try to print a test page the job shows completed but nothing prints.
I did not find the exact model in the list but tried a few generic ones and downloaded a PPD file for a similar make, nothing worked.
The printer is set to a fixed IP and has IPP enabled on port 631, and I added the following lines to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

LogLevel info
Port 631
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
PageLogFormat
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>
<Location /admin>
Authtype Basic
AuthClass System
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>

What could I try? Thanks for any help.

Which driver is in use? Check the /etc/cups/ppd/ directory for the relevant .ppd file eg foo.ppd

Code:

egrep "Name|Model|Filter" /etc/cups/ppd/foo.ppd

FWIW, this openprinting.org page led me to
http://foo2hiperc.rkkda.com/

This might need a Slackware guru to advise more specifically though.

Thanks so far. The driver is CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.11, see egrep output below.
Thanks also for the link, I'll try that driver.

Yes, it's likely that the driver you tried is not suitable for this model. I think switching to the foo2hiperc should work ok. I'm not a slackware user, but in an effort to assist, I did manage to download and install that driver, which I was able to complete without any issues at all. I was then able to configure a 'dummy' printer via the CUPS web interface and the Oki C511dn was amongst those to choose from.
