Problem configuring canon i255 printer
- Status
It is detected by Ubuntu on parallel port 1. So, I did configure it right in Knoppix too. Now, in Ubuntu even after proper setup, it is shown as ready, whenever I give print a test page command, nothing happens at all. There is no response from the printer.
I did 'lsmod' and parport_pc is present.

#
# User/Group: the user and group the server runs under. Normally this
# must be cupsys and lpadmin, however you can configure things for another
# user or group as needed.
#
# Note: the server must be run initially as root to support the
# default IPP port of 631. It changes users whenever an external
# program is run, or if the RunAsUser directive is specified...
#
#User cupsys
#Group lpadmin
#
# RunAsUser: The RunAsUser directive controls whether the scheduler runs as the
# unpriviledged user account (usually cupsys). The default is No which
# leaves the scheduler running as the root user. However, the Debian package
# was prepared to work as user cupsys, which greatly reduces the impact of
# security holes.
#
# Note: Running as a non-priviledged user may prevent LPD and locally connected
# printers from working due to permission problems. The lpd backend will
# automatically use a non-priviledged mode that is not 100% compliant with RFC
# 1179. The parallel, serial, and usb backends will need write access to the
# corresponding device files.
#
RunAsUser Yes
#
# RIPCache: the amount of memory that each RIP should use to cache
# bitmaps. The value can be any real number followed by "k" for
# kilobytes, "m" for megabytes, "g" for gigabytes, or "t" for tiles

# TempDir: the directory to put temporary files in. This directory must be
# writable by the user defined above! Defaults to "/var/spool/cups/tmp" or
# the value of the TMPDIR environment variable.
#
#TempDir /var/spool/cups/tmp
#
# FilterLimit: sets the maximum cost of all job filters that can be run
# at the same time. A limit of 0 means no limit. A typical job may need
# a filter limit of at least 200; limits less than the minimum required
# by a job force a single job to be printed at any time.
#
# The default limit is 0 (unlimited).

#
# Ports/addresses that we listen to. The default port 631 is reserved
# for the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and is what we use here.

# Listen hostname:80
# Listen hostname:631
# Listen 1.2.3.4
# Listen 1.2.3.4:631
#
# NOTE: Unfortunately, most web browsers don't support TLS or HTTP Upgrades
# for encryption. If you want to support web-based encryption you'll
# probably need to listen on port 443 (the "https" port...)
#
# NOTE 2: In order for the command-line and web interfaces to work, you
# must have at least one Port or Listen line that allows access from the
# local loopback address (localhost).

#
#KeepAliveTimeout 60
#
# MaxClients: controls the maximum number of simultaneous clients that
# will be handled. Defaults to 100.
#
#MaxClients 100
#
# MaxClientsPerHost: controls the maximum number of simultaneous clients that
# will be handled from a specific host. Defaults to 10 or 1/10th of the
# MaxClients setting, whichever is larger. A value of 0 specifies the
# automatic (10 or 1/10th) setting.
#
#MaxClientsPerHost 0
#
# MaxRequestSize: controls the maximum size of HTTP requests and print files.
# Set to 0 to disable this feature (defaults to 0.)

######## Browsing Options
########
#
# Browsing: whether or not to broadcast and/or listen for CUPS printer
# information on the network. For Ubuntu, this setting has been externalized to
# a separate configuration file cupsd-browsing.conf. This allows to change the
# browsing setting with /usr/share/cups/enable_browsing (or manually) without
# modifying this main configuration file, which avoids dpkg questions on
# conffile upgrades.
Include cupsd-browsing.conf
#
# BrowseProtocols: which protocols to use for browsing. Can be
# any of the following separated by whitespace and/or commas:
#
# all - Use all supported protocols.
# cups - Use the CUPS browse protocol.
# slp - Use the SLPv2 protocol.
#
# The default is "cups".
#
# NOTE: If you choose to use SLPv2, it is *strongly* recommended that
# you have at least one SLP Directory Agent (DA) on your
# network. Otherwise, browse updates can take several seconds,
# during which the scheduler will not respond to client
# requests.
#
#BrowseProtocols cups
#
# BrowseAddress: specifies a broadcast address to be used. By
# default browsing information is not sent!
#
# Note: HP-UX does not properly handle broadcast unless you have a
# Class A, B, C, or D netmask (i.e. no CIDR support).
#
# Note: Using the "global" broadcast address (255.255.255.255) will
# activate a Linux demand-dial link with the default configuration.
# If you have a LAN as well as the dial-up link, use the LAN's
# broadcast address.
#
# The @LOCAL address broadcasts to all non point-to-point interfaces.
# For example, if you have a LAN and a dial-up link, @LOCAL would
# send printer updates to the LAN but not to the dial-up link.
# Similarly, the @IF(name) address sends to the named network
# interface, e.g. @IF(eth0) under Linux. Interfaces are refreshed
# automatically (no more than once every 60 seconds), so they can
# be used on dynamically-configured interfaces, e.g. PPP, 802.11, etc.
#
#BrowseAddress x.y.z.255
#BrowseAddress x.y.255.255
#BrowseAddress x.255.255.255
#BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
#BrowseAddress @IF(name)
#
# BrowseShortNames: whether or not to use "short" names for remote printers
# when possible (e.g. "printer" instead of "printer@host".) Enabled by
# default.
#
#BrowseShortNames Yes
#
# BrowseAllow: specifies an address mask to allow for incoming browser
# packets. The default is to allow packets from all addresses.
#
# BrowseDeny: specifies an address mask to deny for incoming browser
# packets. The default is to deny packets from no addresses.
#
# Both "BrowseAllow" and "BrowseDeny" accept the following notations for
# addresses:
#
# All
# None
# *.domain.com
# .domain.com
# host.domain.com
# nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.nnn.*
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mm
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
# @LOCAL
# @IF(name)
#
# The hostname/domainname restrictions only work if you have turned hostname
# lookups on!
#
#BrowseAllow address
#BrowseDeny address
#
# BrowseInterval: the time between browsing updates in seconds. Default
# is 30 seconds.
#
# Note that browsing information is sent whenever a printer's state changes
# as well, so this represents the maximum time between updates.
#
# Set this to 0 to disable outgoing broadcasts so your local printers are
# not advertised but you can still see printers on other hosts.
#
#BrowseInterval 30
#
# BrowseOrder: specifies the order of BrowseAllow/BrowseDeny comparisons.
#
#BrowseOrder allow,deny
#BrowseOrder deny,allow
#
# BrowsePoll: poll the named server(s) for printers
#
#BrowsePoll addressort
#
# BrowsePort: the port used for UDP broadcasts. By default this is
# the IPP port; if you change this you need to do it on all servers.
# Only one BrowsePort is recognized.
#
#BrowsePort 631
#
# BrowseRelay: relay browser packets from one address/network to another.
#
#BrowseRelay source-address destination-address
#BrowseRelay @IF(src) @IF(dst)
#
# BrowseTimeout: the timeout for network printers - if we don't
# get an update within this time the printer will be removed
# from the printer list. This number definitely should not be
# less the BrowseInterval value for obvious reasons. Defaults
# to 300 seconds.
#
#BrowseTimeout 300
#
# ImplicitClasses: whether or not to use implicit classes.
#
# Printer classes can be specified explicitly in the classes.conf
# file, implicitly based upon the printers available on the LAN, or
# both.
#
# When ImplicitClasses is On, printers on the LAN with the same name
# (e.g. Acme-LaserPrint-1000) will be put into a class with the same
# name. This allows you to setup multiple redundant queues on a LAN
# without a lot of administrative difficulties. If a user sends a
# job to Acme-LaserPrint-1000, the job will go to the first available
# queue.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#ImplicitClasses On
#
# ImplicitAnyClasses: whether or not to create "AnyPrinter" implicit
# classes.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is On and a local queue of the same name
# exists, e.g. "printer", "printer@server1", "printer@server1", then
# an implicit class called "Anyprinter" is created instead.
#
# When ImplicitAnyClasses is Off, implicit classes are not created
# when there is a local queue of the same name.
#
# Disabled by default.
#
#ImplicitAnyCLasses Off
#
# HideImplicitMembers: whether or not to show the members of an
# implicit class.
#
# When HideImplicitMembers is On, any remote printers that are
# part of an implicit class are hidden from the user, who will
# then only see a single queue even though many queues will be
# supporting the implicit class.
#
# Enabled by default.
#
#HideImplicitMembers On
########
######## Security Options
########
#
# SystemGroup: the group name for "System" (printer administration)
# access. The default varies depending on the operating system, but
# will be "sys", "system", or "root" (checked for in that order.)
#
# Debian: The default CUPS group is "lpadmin".
#
#SystemGroup lpadmin
#
# RootCertDuration: How frequently the root certificate is regenerated.
# Defaults to 300 seconds.
#
#RootCertDuration 300
#
# Access permissions for each directory served by the scheduler.
# Locations are relative to DocumentRoot...
#
# AuthType: the authorization to use:
#
# None - Perform no authentication
# Basic - Perform authentication using the HTTP Basic method.
# Digest - Perform authentication using the HTTP Digest method.
#
# (Note: local certificate authentication can be substituted by
# the client for Basic or Digest when connecting to the
# localhost interface)
#
# AuthClass: the authorization class; currently only "Anonymous", "User",
# "System" (valid user belonging to group SystemGroup), and "Group"
# (valid user belonging to the specified group) are supported.
#
# AuthGroupName: the group name for "Group" authorization.
#
# Order: the order of Allow/Deny processing.
#
# Allow: allows access from the specified hostname, domain, IP address,
# network, or interface.
#
# Deny: denies access from the specified hostname, domain, IP address,
# network, or interface.
#
# Both "Allow" and "Deny" accept the following notations for addresses:

# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mm
# nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
# @LOCAL
# @IF(name)
#
# The host and domain address require that you enable hostname lookups
# with "HostNameLookups On" above.
#
# The @LOCAL address allows or denies from all non point-to-point
# interfaces. For example, if you have a LAN and a dial-up link,
# @LOCAL could allow connections from the LAN but not from the dial-up
# link. Similarly, the @IF(name) address allows or denies from the
# named network interface, e.g. @IF(eth0) under Linux. Interfaces are
# refreshed automatically (no more than once every 60 seconds), so
# they can be used on dynamically-configured interfaces, e.g. PPP,
# 802.11, etc.
#
# Encryption: whether or not to use encryption; this depends on having
# the OpenSSL library linked into the CUPS library and scheduler.
#
# Possible values:
#
# Always - Always use encryption (SSL)
# Never - Never use encryption
# Required - Use TLS encryption upgrade
# IfRequested - Use encryption if the server requests it

Did it work in Knoppix? How many parallel ports do you have on your system? Do you have proper permissions on /dev/lp0? Change LogLevel in cupsd.conf to debug2 and then try printing again. After it fails, check in /var/log/cups/error_log to see what errors it gives.tech_your_future said:
