[Gimp-print-devel] Canon Pixma IP6220D

[Kent S. <ken...@gm...>]

I am trying to convert my old printer to a network printer.
I'm hosting CUPS on a Raspi, (I believe the model B)

CUPS seems to be working as I can find the printer from another machine on
the network and print a page to it.
However:
When printing in color I'm getting a full width page in color (although the
colors are way off) and a b/w half width page, On The Same Page (overlayed)

When printing in b/w I was just getting the half width page in b/w.

When setting this up I used mostly this HowTo:

Other things to note, the prints are also very slow in comparison to
plugging in the printer and using whatever the default driver was before I
went on this endeavor.

I haven't tried photo printing yet as I don't have high hopes but I'll
throw it out there just in case. The printer had a program "Canon
Easy-PhotoPrint EX" that I installed on my windows machine that let you
choose what type of photo paper and many photo layouts we wanted to use. I
used this to print my photos but perhaps the native driver would have
worked just as well for photo quality prints. (This printer uses CL41 ink
for color printing and CL-52 for photo ink so I'm not sure if it needs
specific controls in order to use the photo printing) Do you think the
Gutenprint driver would enable this type of printing?

Cups 2.2.1 Gutenprint v5.3.1

I'm open for troubleshooting and providing configuration and trying out
tests as well.
