[SOLVED] Printer configuration system did not work.

So now printer control panes shows "No Printers."

Go to the CUPS website and add your printer.
Once it's added you should be able to finish printer configuration.

As far as the mouse is concerned it sounds like something is not loading at start up.

Does CentOS work with your printer?
Is your motherboard primarly Intel Technology or AMD? Or a custom build?

If use cinnamon, froze.
If use KDE, system don't accept Finish button.

Try updating Manjaro and see if that helps.
If the 'Finish' button is greyed out than something (maybe a lib) is missing but not sure. Sorry.

This thread in the Manjaro Forum might help.

Canon isn't the greatest supporter for linux but they do have an older driver available, maybe it'll work.

I used printers on this system. This hardware, Manjaro Linux and these packages.
After re-installation, they did not work.

How to re-installation:
Install Manjaro system from same disk as ex-system.
Install all ex-installed packages with script.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/zsh

for i in $( cut -d " " -f 1 pacman-q | sort | uniq -u)  # Each ex-installed package
do
  if ! pacman -Q | cut -d " " -f 1 | grep "^$i"'$' # Skip if the package already installed in this system.
  then
    yaourt -S --noconfirm "$i" # Install package
  fi
done

And run without --noconfirm.
Some packages couldn't install by Pacman 4.3 update.
So I fix some packages that simply rename build() function to package() function.
Some packages couldn't build. But they don't have relation to hardware or cups.

I think construct same environment as ex-system.
Why I re-installed is that failed to system upgrade.
If there's effect, only from system upgrade.
I don't think any package missing or I missed any configuration.
If this problem don't come from system upgrade, it being thought elsewhere come from illegal error.

My environment:
AMD A10-7700K on ASRock FM2A88+Killer, 32GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 3TB HDD*5,
Manjaro Linux x86_64 (3.18.3-1-MANJARO), Catalyst Video Driver,
Canon MP630 Multifunctional Printer, hp Photosmart 5521 Multifunctional Printer.
Installed from Manjaro 0.9.10 XFce JP.
Cinnamon, KDE, XFce desktop environments.

Printers work on:

Sabayon Linux with other laptop.
PCLinuxOS with other laptop.
openSUSE 13.1 with other laptop.
Windows7 with other laptop.
Ubuntu 13.10 with this computer.
PCLinuxOS with this computer.
Manjaro Linux (ex) with this computer.

I tired to add printer with CUPS web interface (http://localhost:631.)
Result:

プリンターの追加
プリンターの追加 Canon_MP630_series Error

プリンタードライバーのリストを取得できません:

Success

プリンターの追加 Canon_MP630_series Error

プリンタードライバーのリストを取得できません:

Success

"プリンターの追加" means "Add printer",
"プリンタードライバーのリストを取得できません" means "Failed to get printer driver list."

I will try written in Manjaro forum.

MP630 worked but wrong.

I tried:

Code:

$ sudo pacman -Rsn manjaro-printer
$ sudo pacman -S cups cups-filters cups-pdf cups-pk-helper system-config-printer
$ sudo pacman -S splix python2-sip python2-pyqt4
$ sudo systemctl stop org.cups.cupsd
$ sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd
$ sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd

and printer configuration got success.

But I try to print test page, MP630 eject white paper.
Printer status is "Idle - データをプリンターに送信しています。", Status Message is "Filter failed". (KDE)
(データをプリンターに送信しています means sending data to printer.)

I rebooted, and I got same result.

yek · 02-14-2015, 04:48 AM

And I installed manjaro-printer again, do coming full system upgrade, remove printer, add printer again.
I could not add printer again.

Did you install this driver?

go to Xfce settings go to manjaro-settings-manager

go to user account click on your account then click on standard.
under see Show groups then check that.

and check you have lp rights..

Hope that helps yek. I'm sorry; I'm starting to run out of ideas.

Yes, I did.

I checked Manjaro forum, and dohaving noticed.

Groups OK:

Quote:

$ groups yek
lp wheel network video audio storage users

usblp not loaded.
I do modprobe usblp.
As a result, Cinnamon printer configuration came to don't freeze.
But Cinnamon printer configuration sats thus error:

Quote:

CUPS サーバーエラー
CUPS 操作中にエラーが発生しました: '成功です'

in English:

Quote:

CUPS server error.
Error occurred in CUPS operation: 'SUCCESS'

After reboot, already usblp was loaded. But unchanged

Remove /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter-canon-mp6x0.rules and reboot.
But unchanged.

Commented out about MP630 in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter-canon-mp6x0.rules and reboot.
But unchanged.

I think this problem come from irregular something error.
I think that if I re-install and in-construct Manjaro system, this problem will be solved.
But I do not so want to do it and it is regrettable...

I'm starting to wonder if maybe something in the upgrade broke the driver?

When I get "CUPS Server Error" I have to delete the printer and than re-add it again.
But that hasn't worked for you- Something is up with CUPS, at least I think that's the case.

If it helps this will show you all running cups processes:

Code:

ps aux | grep -v grep | grep cups

Since CUPS may be the problem try running this and see if this fixes it.

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

If not, reinstallation may be the only way to fix this. I've shared with you all that I know to try and I'm out of ideas now. I've never seen such as this with a printing or cups issue being so hard to troubleshoot. I'm sorry yek.

Remember EDDY1 did mention that Cannon is the best supporter that works with Linux.

yek · 02-16-2015, 04:30 AM

I installed Manjaro to another disk, and upgrade to latest release.
This problem reappeared.
I tried to add printer with CUPS webUI.

Quote:

Unable to get list of printer drivers
'SUCCESS'

This problem is written in ArchWiki.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...rinter_drivers

I checked /etc/cups/client.conf, but the file is written to use local UNIX socket.
This problem don't occur only with hp printer.

But UEFI boot problem occurred in my system, so now I cannot check or try anymore.
I will fix and retry...

yek · 02-17-2015, 06:36 AM

It worked.

I followed Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS
I removed all foomatic drivers, and it works.

I understand Canon isn't best choice for Linux.
I bought new hp printer photosmart 5521.
I will leave Canon this house when house moving

Thank you very much Ztcoracat and EDDY1!

Do you think that the foomatic drivers were conflicting with the Cannon driver that you installed?
(I suspect so but not sure)

Glad to hear that your printer is working.

Ztcoracat · 02-17-2015, 04:27 PM

I'm sorry yek, I wasn't thinking-
I remembered when I studied all about modules and drivers that if the wrong driver is loading first it can cause the device to fail.

I have all of this good information that I have aquired over the years and sometimes it just doesn't come to mind when I really need it.

Anyway, I'm glad that your Cannon is working now and this is Solved for you.

Cheers!

yek · 02-18-2015, 02:21 AM

I thank you very much.
If I'm alone, I would be discouraged.

I does not have a lot on CUPS. I only followed Arch Wiki.
Maybe it will be problem: hplip requires foomatic-db.
(At that time, I remove cnjifilter before hplip and foomatic installation.)
I got English message in trying, it became a hint.

Anyway now printer works, and I got progress and I learned about one, Linux.

Cheers!
