[Gutsy Tribe4] Can not found Canon printers

[Patrice Vetsel]

Binary package hint: cupsys

May be it's a foomatic problem as foomatic-gui have https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foomatic-gui/+bug/115612

WIth cupsys web interface, or system-config-printer i do not have any Canon printers available.
I found this bug when i was using hal-cups-utils that configure my Canon iP3000 but with a wrong driver, so going to choose one, i can not found CANON drivers.

Can you do "lpinfo -m | grep -i canon"?

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

kagou@satori:~$ lpinfo -m | grep -i canon

AppArmor is blocking the libraries needed by the PPD generators /usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic and /usr/lib/cups/driver/gutenprint. This prevents all Canon and many other PPDs from getting listed.

[fenrig (maregt0)]

Hi, i have this problem too. I tried deleting, reinstalling, removing all cups deb's and gutenprint deb's

[fenrig (maregt0)]

I found a solution:

Do
sudo aa-complain cupsd
to deactivate the AppArmor protection of CUPS temprarily, then you should be able to print again.

Last cupsys upgrade seems to solve this bug :)

[zcat (zcat)]

Not for me.

This is on a box that was recently upgraded from feisty, and the printer was working perfectly.
No difference between gnome interface or web localhost:631(?)

Printer doesn't get detected by 'add new printer'

After manually choosing port and printer details, printer immediately moves all jobs to "Stopped"

Same problem happens for every printer I have available, PPT or USB.

sudo aa-complain cupsd has made the problem go away, for now at least.

Let me know if you want any more details.

[zcat (zcat)]

BTW; why the change from nice friendly gnome-cups-manager to the hideously awful system-config-printer ?!!! It's like something out of Slackware FFS!!

Somebody please change this back, or give me a really good reason why I shouldn't use the old system!

[mackiecc (tiloem)]

I have exactly the same problem like "zcat". I'm using gutsy with all updates installed and a hp 710c printer. greets mackie
