Canon LBP 6000 printer on Debian 8.3 (Jessie) 32-bit using CUPS

Interesting. Sadly, I can't register the printer anymore. This worked fine yesterday.

Code:

lpadmin -p Canon_LBP6000 -m /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP6018CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787

gets me
lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file.

I have stopped the ccpd service like last time. I am sorry if I am missing the obvious.

Well, you don't need to worry about the PPD bit, so this should do it

Code:

lpadmin -p Canon_LBP6000 -v ccp://localhost:59787

Alternatively, edit /etc/cups/printers.conf directly (as root) and make the necessary edit, or via CUPS web interface.

Thank you for this information, I would probably have been stuck here.
The port change didn't change anything. The state remains "pending"

Okay, and you have two ccpd processes running?

Code:

ps -A|grep ccpd

Very late here, and I'm out of ideas, but I'm going to suggest you carefully review the thread you provided in your opening post (post #23 onwards)

Thank you very much for your time and effort!

Code:

ps -A|grep ccpd

returns nothing. But the service is responding. Restarting the service gives me at least one process.

I will investigate this further and will carefully study your link.

Good. When you have ccpd running, there should definitely be two instances apparently. Also, make sure that you're trying to connect to the correct printer device node in case it's back at /dev/usb/lp0 for example. Only one node should exist...

Code:

ls -l /dev/usb/lp*

No luck so far.
Thank you very much for your time and effort. I am sorry, but I have given up on this one and used Windows to solve this Problem. The next printer will have Linux driver support or a LAN connection of some sort.
Thank you again very much and I am sorry for my lack of patience with this problem.
