As mentioned in earlier messages, I find that the provided list does NOT contain my printers (nor any in their series, if I'm reading correctly...
If I remember it right, my printer is Canon GP 250 (it's a combination of a printer and a copy machine). It wasn't on the list, so I selected "Canon GP 335, Foomatic + Postscript" and it worked in my case. Sure, it may not work in your case.
Again, I do have that PPD file from the Canon CD, but I don't see how to make that file accessible to the CUPS Admin. Anybody have a suggestion?
The original PPD file is in: # rpm -ql cups-drivers | grep GP_335 /usr/share/cups/model/Canon/GP_335-Postscript.ppd.gz ... The corresponding PPD file modified by the configuration tool is in: /etc/cups/ppd/canon.ppd in my case.
Is there a config file where I should mention the name of the .ppd file??
I would put it into /usr/share/cups/model/Canon/ and if it didn't help I would read the extensive CUPS documentation. Anyway, there is a nice note in the GP_335-Postscript.ppd.gz file: : So all PostScript printers work perfectly under Linux or other free : operating systems. GhostScript and/or cupsomatic is not needed for : them. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
