Printing from GIMP on Canon i950 without results

[pksa]

---

I use GIMP 2.0 on SuSE 9.1 and KDE.
I use Canone i950 with driver PIXUS950 from Canon. I works perfectly in yast priter test (in photo mode, also printouts from Digicam.
But when I try to print form GIMP there nothing coming out of the printer. The job os processing in print queue.
I also noticed that in print command in GIMP I can not select media type (photopaper)
GiMP uses following command: lp -s -dcanon_i950 -oraw
I tied to set upprinter on printing form in GIMP, but there is no my printer, it is on postscrip by default.

Perhaps somene has and idea what I can do.
Thanks in advance.

From the print menu select New Printer and give it a name. Then select setup printer. Select PS level 2, put in the command you use for printing and point it to the ppd file.

For me I use lpr-cups to print.

I introduce the command with cups as you pointed out with the right ppm.
Now I can configure wthe right printer.
Nevertheless printer is still deaf. The job is wainting in the queue.
Any hints?
Perheps It is question of priviligies?

I have an i850. Where did you find the printer driver?

Thanks,
Jeremy

For the print command just use lpr-cups. Don't add anything else to the line.

Jeremy,

Look there:
ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/

It is in japanese but you should cope with.
Their name for i850 is pixus850. But that is exactly the same.

good luck

Jeremy,
What are the results?

I still can not print. When I try to print test page it says that there is client error.

Do anyone knows good instruction - step by step - to configure cups?

[jeremy1701]

Sorry, I forgot about this. I'll get back to you soon. Thanks for the reminder.

Sorry for the long delay. Here are the results. I installed both files using rpm on MDK 10.1. When I try to install the driver using CUPS, it isn't there. When I try to select .ppd file, it tells me it in an invalid format. What am I doing wrong?
