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.

Najprije napravite fajl cupsys istovjetan fajlu cups iz shella:

sudo cp /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/cupsys

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

#!/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"

i to na način da uklonite retke koje sadrže depedencies.

Dakle gornju skriptu spremite u npr. dep.sh

Promijenite ju u izvršnu datoteku sa:

sudo chmod u+x dep.sh

i koristite iz terminala

sudo ./dep.sh ime_fajla.deb

Obradite oba fajla (drivera). Dobijete 2 nova pakiranja koja instalirate dvoklikom. 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

*OpenUI
*CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

dodajte još i ovo:

*OpenUI 
*CNGrayscale/Grayscale: Boolean
*DefaultCNGrayscale: False
*CNGrayscale True/Yes: True
*CNGrayscale False/No: False
*CloseUI:
*CNGrayscale

te nađite

*OpenUI
*Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

obrišite i na to mjesto dodajte

*OpenUI 
*Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[2400 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 4800/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[4800 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

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 naredbom is shella kao root

sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

ili restartajte kompjuter. Sad vam boje ispisuje u raznim sivim nijansama u što ćete se uvjeriti printanjem test stranice.
