Hi Chris, yes I think so: $ lsmod |grep usblp usblp 13244 0 usbcore 154032 6 usblp,btusb,uvcvideo,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

Hi, I'm new to arch and unable to set up my (USB) Canon printer. I've read quite a large number of threads on the forum about this and suppose my solution is in there somewhere but cups doesn't recognise my printer for some reason. Here's what I've tried:

I've installed cups, ghostscript, gsfonts and gutenprint and blacklisted usblp. My printer is picked up by lsusb:

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 04a9:1094 Canon, Inc. PIXMA iP3000x Printer

and I think it has the right permissions:

[jim@daisy ~]$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/003 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 514 2009-11-15 13:44 /dev/bus/usb/005/003

In the web interface when I go to add a printer there are none found. I have set cups logging to debug but there's nothing there that means anything to me. Here is some of the output when I try to find the printer in the web interface:

What should I try next?

Thanks,

remove usblp since CUPS doesn't use it anymore. try to do this with `rmmod' or `modprobe -r'

That's weird actually, because I thought it was already blocked in rc.conf. This is ahwat I have there: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs keymaps hal crond alsa slim wicd !usblp cups) Jim

if it works (printer detected), block this module in rc.conf.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs keymaps hal crond alsa slim wicd !usblp cups)

Remove it from DAEMONS array and add it to the MODULES array: MODULES=(!usblp) -- Arch Linux Developer http://www.archlinux.org http://www.archlinux.it

Read again ;-) I've had the same problem a few weeks ago, it works now but I don't know what I've changed back then. Check the CUPS page on Arch Wiki, there must be something about udev rules that helped me out. I'll check tomorrow when I have access to my print server! -- Jeroen Op 't Eynde jeroen@xprsyrslf.be http://xprsyrslf.be Ps: Check the new design for my website: XprsYrslf.be
