Ive had SuSe for about 4 months now. I love it
Im running version SuSe 8.0 personal edition. I have a major problem I need to fix with the printer Im running a Canon BCJ-4200 Printer
I have the 4000 myself, I think both use the same driver. The only real difference is that yours has photo-whatever capacity :-)
I cant seem to get it to work correctly and have tryied about all I might add Im not "geek" so I need a simple way to get it to work. Upon printing it will start to print about a sentence, then stop and I have to hit the printer reset button. It will not complete the printing job. print looks fine on first sentence
Ugh. Just a second... is that a plain text file you are printing? If so, remember that Linux issues just a carriage return at the end of each line, whereas dos also issues a line feed . For some printers, this means that printing from Linux you get a very long line, outside of the page: you only see one line. This can be configured on the printer, with switches... but only the 4000 has them, not the 4200. You will need to print ascii as postscript, then.
I need to know exactly how to set it up,, Ive tryied the YAst and it says not reconized... but if done manual it has the 4200 option.. It just dont work correctly
Just tell it, manually, what printer you have: it is listed, but not detected.
Can somebody give me detailed info on how to get this printer running??
Well... I don't know how different is suse 8.0 from 8.1. I suppose you use cups; if so, configure it from the kde control center, or from the cups pseudo-web-page (http://localhost:631). Any of those methods is better than Yast, I think - at least, it was in my case. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
