Bug Description
Hi,
I have canon LBP3000 laser printer. I have downloaded both versions of driver from canon, version 1.6 and 1.8, and followed step by step instructions. I also checked all over the net for the solution, but found none.
My printer is identified, and status is fine, just it wont print. This is in detail what happens, and the steps I followed.
First I made sure that I have removed printer's spooler:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -x LBP5000
Then, I installed these provided packages:
# dpkg -i cndrvcups-
# dpkg -i cndrvcups-
I checked for driver version by:
# dpkg -l | grep cndrvcups
and it was fine, 1.80
Then I restarted cups and registered:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3000 -m CNCUPSLBP3000CA
/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3000 -o /dev/usb/lp0
And started daemon:
# /etc/init.d/ccpd start
In system/
In system/
I click on properties and I noticed that for driver it says 1.5 version. That was odd, but I tried nonetheless. I did print page, it said completed, but no printing occurred. I then tried to changeMake and Model by clicking on the button to the right and chosing the right ppt file, since from select from database was only that 1.5 version driver that probably came with Ubuntu. I am using 9.04, so its a bit odd that it has driver so old.
In previous steps you noticed that in fifo0 I registered my ppt, and fifo0 is chosen, but still that 1.5 version, and printer wont print anything although status says everything is fine and printing jobs compleated.
It took me hours and hours working on this, but still no solution.

Can you run
sudo aa-complain cupsd
and then try to print again? Does it work now?
