Greetings, having just replaced my old Canon Pixma MX885 with a Canon Maxify MB5150 I find myself not being able to print to this printer from Gentoo (works from Windoze, however, so it's not the printer). Printing a test page directly from within Cups on Gentoo prints a light grey "Printer Test Page" line on the first sheet picked from the paper tray and then moves all paper from the source paper tray to the output paper tray until the former is empty. And when printing a one page PDF from within Okular it doesn't print anything at all but directly moves all paper from the input to the output tray. File "/var/log/cups/error.log" does contain entries, but none that did not already occur with the old Pixma. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any hints appreciated ... Sincerely, Rainer |

Rainer, It would be useful to know: - What driver you are using with the printer? - What version of CUPS comes with your Gentoo There have been a number of bug fixes in CUPS' support of Canon AirPrint/Mopria-compatible printers (like this one) over the last year, so it is possible you are just running into a known CUPS bug. > On Apr 2, 2021, at 12:40 PM, Dr Rainer Woitok <rai...@gm...> wrote: > > Greetings, > > having just replaced my old Canon Pixma MX885 with a Canon Maxify MB5150 > I find myself not being able to print to this printer from Gentoo (works > from Windoze, however, so it's not the printer). > > Printing a test page directly from within Cups on Gentoo prints a light > grey "Printer Test Page" line on the first sheet picked from the paper > tray and then moves all paper from the source paper tray to the output > paper tray until the former is empty.

Hello Rainer, It is quite possible that the MB5100 series is not working properly yet. I seem to recall that the options related to paper tray, and the sizes of papers that were able to be used with each of the trays, were quite complex. I have not checked whether anyone else has reported back on the MB5100, but can you please communicate with me offline for specifics of debugging use of the options/defaults. Since you use Gentoo it is likely I can make some changes to the code, and send you test jobs which you can send raw to the printer from the command line to see whether the MB5100 behaviour matches expectations. It is also possible that there could be problems with the usage on network connections, so ideally we would like to debug using a USB connection, if that is feasible.

Further searching the web I found at
https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/maxify_mb_series/maxify_mb5150.html?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:14-1533036&os=linux%20%2864-bit%29&language=en
that Canon offers a Fedora/Ubuntu printer driver "cnijfilter2" version
5.40-1 for the Maxify MB5150 for downloading. But since there is also a
Gentoo package "net-print/cnijfilter2" version 5.90 I preferred to in-
stall that instead.
Trying to print a test page via Cups failed as it did before: the text
"Printer Test Page" was printed in light grey on the first sheet of pap-
er and then the printer started to empty the paper tray.
So I cycled power on the printer, rebooted my laptop, and again sent a
test page from Cups. This time nothing happened. The printer didn't
even flinch and the print job is still pending.
Question: is this driver not required in my case, or what else is going
on here?
Sincerely,
Rainer
