Printer Not Printing!

Canser · 12-01-2016, 04:01 AM

Hello.

First of all, this is my first question / post, thank you for your patience and helps!

I have a problem using Kodak 305 printer with my raspberry pi running on raspbian.

I could not find any drivers from the official site, searched for days, after several days found gutenprint (gutenprint.sourceforge.net) downloaded and installed latest release, now i can see my printer model on cups and successfully installed.

After installation process, tried to print some test pages and photos, could not succeeded...

I have already asked a question on the askubuntu page, no one could helped, even gave bounty, now waiting. See here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/85487...printer-driver

Anyways; copying updates here.

Welcome to LQ!

Unfortunately the news seems to be bad for your setup.
From the Gutenprint 5.2.11 release notes:

Quote:

Kodak 305 [experimental] [*1]
Ciaat Brava 21 [experimental] [*1]
Mitsubishi CP-D80DW [experimental] [*1]
Sinfonia S6145/CS2 [experimental] [*1]

[*1] Please note that these models utilize a print engine that
requires the host system to process the print data using
unknown algorithms. Until these algorithms can be determined
and re-implemented, these models are unsuitable for general
use due to very poor output quality.

So, you can try adding the image processing library linked from your Ubuntu thread.

Note that Gutenprint 5.2.12-pre5 or newer will include all necessary selphy_print changes, but not the processing library

I already downloaded and installed selphy_print. It's not working with raspbian (gives usb timeout error)

Thanks to a helpful friend, we got selphy_print work with ubuntu (vm), but only selphy test print was working.

Our conversation and all tests are here:

Will try to install ubuntu to an old machine and try with it.

I hate to be the barrier of bad news but Kodak does not support Linux.

A few years ago I tried everything under the sun to get Ubuntu to work with my Kodak printer and all efforts failed. I got rid of the printer and purchased an HP.
