Have IP90V printer that I have been trying to get to work with SuSE 10.3 with no success. I have installed cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm and cnijfilter-ip90-2.70-1.i386.rpm via yast. When I setup the printer, it sets up fine, then do a test, cups says it is processing, but that goes forever and nothing prints.

Canon wouldn't even ACKNOWLEDGE my email asking them about Linux support for their printers...or even releasing some basic communication specs, so that my printer at the time (BJC 620) could be used at full resolution (720x720, instead of the 360x360 of the BJC 610). I won't buy ANYTHING from them until they stop catering exclusively to Microsoft platforms.

Tried installing cnijfilter-common-2.70-2.src.rpm which is supposed to be an update, but with yast I get "Following packages haven't been found on the medium: cnijfilter-common" Tried installing with rpmbuild but end up with unitelligible errors, at least to me they are unintelligible.

Tried adding the directory wehre the RPM is to the repositories, but that does not work. The instructions from Canon on their site are in Japanese, so they are of no help.

Any suggestions on how to get this thing to work are welcome. (I have tried other printer models as suggested on the internet, but none of them print correctly)

Sell it to someone who uses Windows, and get yourself a printer from a manufacturer which cooperates with the Linux community, like, say, HP, IBM or even Epson. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
