Canon Pixma iP1800 Ubuntu 8.10 rješenje

Rješenje za Ubuntu 8.10 Ako koristite navedeni printer i Ubuntu, sigurno imate problem instalacije printera s prelaskom na novu verziju OS-a. Evo riješenja za Intrepid Ibex i Canon Pixma IP1800.

Skinite drivere sa ubuntubee.blogspot.com Potom ih treba obraditi sljedećom skriptom:

[CODE]
#!/bin/bash

EDITOR=gedit

if  -z "$1" ; then
  echo "Syntax: $0 debfile"
  exit 1
fi

DEBFILE="$1"
TMPDIR=`mktemp -d /tmp/deb.XXXXXXXXXX` || exit 1
OUTPUT=`basename "$DEBFILE" .deb`.modfied.deb

if  -e "$OUTPUT" ; then
  echo "$OUTPUT exists."
  rm -r "$TMPDIR"
  exit 1
fi

dpkg-deb -x "$DEBFILE" "$TMPDIR"
dpkg-deb --control "$DEBFILE" "$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN

if  ! -e "$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN/control ; then
  echo DEBIAN/control not found.

  rm -r "$TMPDIR"
  exit 1
fi

CONTROL="$TMPDIR"/DEBIAN/control

MOD=`stat -c "%y" "$CONTROL"`
$EDITOR "$CONTROL"

if  "$MOD" == `stat -c "%y" "$CONTROL"` ; then
  echo Not modfied.
else
  echo Building new deb...
  dpkg -b "$TMPDIR" "$OUTPUT"
fi

rm -r "$TMPDIR"
[/CODE]

i to na način da uklonite retke koje sadrže depedencies. Dobijete 2 nova pakiranja koja instalirate dvoklikom ili kroz shell. Najprije common pa zatim ip1800. Printer uredno radi u kolor modu!

Evo caka kako ip1800 radi crno-bijelo. Otvorite ppd file /usr/share/cups/model/custom/canonip1800.ppd na dno dodajte

te snimite file.

Sad taj file treba koristiti. Preko web-preglednika uđite u CUPS sa

http://localhost:631 

birajte

manage printer 

pa

modify printer 

i nastavite dok vas ne pita ppd file. Kliknite dugme i idite do prerađenog ppd fajla i potvrdite ga.

Zatim preko System-Administration-Print nađite printer desno (sekundarno) ga kliknite i birajte Properities. Tu detaljno konfigurirajte printer, a najvažnije je staviti kvačicu na checkbox "grayscale". Restartajte CUPS, ili restartajte kompjuter. Sad vam boje ispisuje u raznim sivim nijansama u što ćete se uvjeriti printanjem test stranice.
