i wish to install Canon PIXMA iP1300 printer in fedora 15 gnome3 !
My printer drivers are not available in CUPS database.So i found this.As it can be seen that the method told there is for ubuntu and i nearly survived it but then i'm getting blank pages only.
So, Can someone please translate those steps for me to install my printer in fedora ?
I think i missed something and that is why i'm not able to print anything !
this is not working...when i follow those steps even the printer doesn't take the paper in earlier i was atleast receiving blank pages ejected out !
i've posted my issue on that website..
I tried to install a cannon printer in cups some years back and got disastrous results only. I came to a forum, listened to everybody, did everything, and failed totally to get anything but ascii after setting up as their binary language. It would spit pages with a small number of ascii hieroglyphics on them.I tried everything that anyone could think of.
So I circumnavigated cups. Run gs-h and look for anything like a driver for your printer. Cups is a scheduler, ghostscript is actually the print engine. I wrote a hint for the LFS lot, to which someone contributed a script, and he maintains it now. Configuration information is there. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hint.../files/pfs.txt
