printer cannon BJC2100SP on Mandrake 10
I have an ASUS, pentium 4 with Mandrake 10 installed.
When I tried to print first, the print was expanded and therefore only showed half of what was to be printed on the page and the printer wouldn't stop printing (repeating the same page) . We installed a different driver :
On parallel port #0(Default), Descr.: Cannon BJC 2100SP, Loc.: /dev/lp0, Driver:bjc610a0.upp
And stopped cups through the comand line in the folliowng way:
---

[h@localhost h]$ su -

[root@localhost root]# /etc/init.d/cups stop
Stopping CUPS printing system: [ OK ]
[root@localhost root]# rm /var/spool/cups/d*

[root@localhost root]# rm /var/spool/cups/d*
rm: cannot lstat `/var/spool/cups/d*': No such file or directory
[root@localhost root]# /var/spool/cups/d*
-bash: /var/spool/cups/d*: No such file or directory
[root@localhost root]# /etc/init.d/cups start
Starting CUPS printing system: [ OK ]

The problem arose here, and then I tried the process again with the following result

Now nothing is showing on the page. it prints as if everything is fine, sounds like its printing but its as though there is no ink.
Thanks for you help
