[Gimp-print-devel] Mitsibishi CP90SL

[Denis J. <jes...@gm...>]

Hello guys,

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a Mitsubishi CP90DW-SL photo printer.
It is some special model (SL) and unfortunately it does not work with the
drivers of from the CP90DW model.

Do you know what the problem could be and how to get the printer to work on
Linux? I want to connect it to my photo booth via CUPs and AirPrint.

Regards,
Denis

Mitsubishi typically produced special variants of each model, typically 
tied to some vendor's specific kiosk solution (a German company called 
"Silverlab solutions" in this case) *and* additionally being locked to 
vendor-specific media.

Depends on what you mean by "does not work" -- ie what is the specific 
error?

Historically Mitsubishi has changed the USB IDs and tweaked the "start 
print" command slightly vs their standard commercial model.  I don't 
know what they might have done for the CPD90DW-SL.

This email chain went private, but to follow up here, for the -SL 
variant, Mitsubishi used a unique USB PID and also changed the IEEE1284 
identification string.

Gutenprint has been updated to recognize these, but a week later have 
not heard back if this is sufficient to allow this model to print.
