Hi all. In trouble again so come back to the experts for advice. Problem, in a nut shell, printer will not print anything, despite cups reporting the print job has completed successfully. I have spent many hours trying to work through this by myself but regardless of what I have tried, no joy.
My printer is a Canon MX328 all in one inkjet. It used to work previously but printing was somewhat hit and miss. I mean that sometimes it just refused to print anything and other times it worked fine. My system is Slackware 14.1 – 32 bit.
It incidentally works well under Windoz so we can rule out the printer proper.
I previously had cups-1.5.4 installed and was using Canon Pixma mx320 driver with Gutenprint.
I read on LQ on another thread that cups v1.5 had a bug that could cause Canon printers to freeze and as that seemed to fit with the symptoms I upgraded to cups v2.2rc1, installed cups-filters-1-current, cnijfilter-mx320series-3.10-1-i386 and cnijfilter-common-3.10-1-i386 drivers.
I go to cups admin page and try to print off a test page. Cups reports “Printing page 1, 24%" but seems to take an age and sticks at 24%. Eventually it reports job complete but nothing comes out of the printer and there is no reaction from the printer at all.
Any help/suggestions, as always, very much appreciated.
