I selected the “Canon MP620 series 192.168.0.42” (the address to which my printer bound)Ģ. I was able to use the cups admin page (localhost:631) to “find new printers” alternatively add a new printer.ġ.

Having done this, I found that I was able to find the printer, and choose the correct printer driver and PPD file. In addition, I also added an entry (perhaps naiively) to the nf file in the “model” section for mp620 with a model ID of 1399. Having installed these, I got the enhanced610ppd from the ppdMP610en-1.3.tar file found at and having unpacked it, followed the README file in the instructions to copy the files to the appropriate places.

installed the rpms ( you may need to install the cups-devel package.ģ.
I thought I’d have a play around so this is what I did:ġ. The CUPS page / utility said that the job had completed successfully, but strangely without any paper being used. Everytime I sent a test page or document, the printer woke up, said “Printing from PC” and then went back to sleep again. I found the printer but was unable to print or get a test page from it…. I too found the blogspot for the MP610 and grabbed bjnp and had similar results to you. All my windoze boxes worked fine with the OOTB drivers, but Linux (in my case F9 and 10) were not playing. I had exactly the same problem with the Pixma MP620. I felt like a bit of a moron trying to get a printer working when everything else had been so simple. I’m glad that someone else had a similar problem to me.

I’ll look into how to get this working and keep you posted. Looking at /var/log/cups/error_log, I see a second error as well: However nothing came out and CUPS briefly an error message: Not quite so much luck on the third page, though, where the closest thing seemed to be “Canon Pixma MP610 – CUPS+Gutenprint…”.Īttempting to print the above test page, the printer woke up and warmed up. On the second page of the “Add Printer” program, one of the device choices was “Canon MP 620 series 192.168.0.109 (Canon MP 620 series)”. The CUPS printer administration web pages ( let me install it. ‘sudo make install’ installed it into the correct location.
#CANON MP620 DRIVER LINUX UPDATE#
I had planned to update to 8.10 anyway, so I went ahead and did so rather than manually installing a good copy of CUPS. 8.10 Intrepid is out and contains the fix. The other error was related to a missing header file in the debian CUPS source distribution included with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. Removing the -m64 compiler flag from the OPTIM variable in the Makefile fixed that one. usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:9:27: error: gnu/stubs-64.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/include/features.h:354, One is that the Makefile was set up for a 64-bit system and I run 32-bit Linux. However, there were two issues that showed up immediately. It contains an INSTALL file with good instructions. Lo and behold, it’s already started! So, I grabbed the cups-bjnp source distribution to play with. And one way or the other, I could deal with my photos and scans using one of the other PCs or by running Windows in VirtualBox. After all, it’s been done already for the MP-600, MP-610 and MX-700 (among others). I’d just wait and hope for somebody to get the ball rolling on Linux support for the MP-620. The HP has pseudo-factory support for Linux, which is the OS of choice on my favorite PC. The Canon has better reviews and a much lower price but I couldn’t find anything about Linux support. It came down to the Canon Pixma MP-620 or the HP Photosmart 6380. We wanted a photo scanner/printer all-in-one machine. Neither are a printer and a scanner that can’t be networked in this house of 4 computers. Black specs on freshly-scanned photos aren’t great. My old scanner had little black pieces of fluff coming from somewhere (the belt?) and floating between the sensor and the glass.
