 |

Well, I've got one of those Canon printers and it is connected to another PC running Windows XP... so I couldn't use the method described here, simply because this driver needs the printer connected to the USB port on the local machine.
After some search I found http://software.canon-europe.com/software/canon_capt_printer_driver_for_linuxs23675.asp and thought, well... give it a try.
The following printers should be supported:
- LaserShot LBP-1120
- LaserShot LBP-1210 (<- this is the one I've got and the one I can do testing with)
- LBP-3200
- Laser Shot LBP3000
- Laser Shot LBP2900
- LaserShot LBP5000
- LaserShot LBP3300
To ease the pain in case of a reinstall or uninstall (both are much easier if you can use portage) or if that WinXP PC eventually goes gentoo later this year, I created two ebuilds. (Canon common modules and Canon CAPT driver)
The sources have to be fetched and de-RPMed manually, the ebuilds go into your portage overlay directory. (see readme)
This was the first time creating an ebuild, so please bear with me in case of mistakes, I'll try my best to address issues if need arises.
| Code: |
mk81@midori ~# emerge -pv cndrvcups-common cndrvcups-capt
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild Rf ] net-print/cndrvcups-common-1.30 0 kB [1]
[ebuild Rf ] net-print/cndrvcups-capt-1.30 -usb 0 kB [1]

Hi..
Thought I mention that there is a ebuild request in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130612
There are two other ebuilds there. It's shorter and has some other features. It hasn't got the USB use flag..
I haven't got time to developed it until autumn..
Does yours work on AMD64? Since the files are 32bit binaries...

I've yet to test it locally, but there've been no problems on my AMD64 so far.
I tend to think that the binaries you build are 64bit.
| Code: | $ file /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocapt
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocapt: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped
$ ldd /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocapt
libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0x00002af6d7993000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00002af6d7ab1000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002af6d787b000)
$ ls -l /lib
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2006-07-04 15:32 /lib -> lib64 |
There are however 32bit binaries that are used if the printer is connected locally, they execute quite fine on my multilib system. If I find the time I'll test it with the printer connected to a local USB port.
| Code: | # file ccpd
ccpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
# ldd ccpd
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libcups.so.2 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcups.so.2 (0xf7f39000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7f26000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f22000)
libc.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libc.so.6 (0xf7e0a000)
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0xf7dda000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0xf7cdf000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f71000) |
There's an error 500 on bugs.gentoo.org at the moment, but I'll have a look at it later.
