Hi friends,
[ (This is not my query. I just want to share this info with you guys).I had been trying to get my Canon Pixma IP1000 work in Mandriva for the past 5 months. Yesterday I came to know about this repository from this thread in Ubuntuforums. I just added the repository, installed the driver as mentioned in the repo site, and my printer was ready - took only 2 minutes. ]
I have some questions about changing the default driver configuration:
1. Since I don't use colour ink, how do I specify cups to do only B/W printing. I saw an option with 'RGB' as value in printer driver settings. But I can't change that.
2. Is there any management tool for Canon printers? What I am looking for is a way to send command to clean the printer, like the one available in Windows Canon driver?
3.This is the most important. Since my printer has a lot of wear and tear (possibly due to constant refilling), I can't get good printing unless the print quality is set to highest (In the Windows driver, there are atleast three options - highest, normal & fastest). But with this driver, I think the quality level is equivalent to the 'normal' option in Windows driver. Is there any way to change it? Is it related to the dpi? Mine is currently at 600 dpi. I can't change that value even as root.
