Driver: Mitsubishi CP-D70DW - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.1 (color)

If possible, please use v5.3.4; it has many fixes vs the 5.3.1 release.

selphy_print was cloned in the pi home directory,

Plesae run this command as root:

BACKEND=mitsu70x /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint53+usb -s

And report the full output. I need to confirm the version of the
software you're actually running, and see what the printer is reporting
for installed media. Offhand I don't see a way that 4x6" would work but
2x6*2 wouldn't.

Thanks for the quick response
Not an expert, where can I obtain the latest version ? I used - git://git.shaftnet.org/selphy_print.git from https://git.shaftnet.org/cgit/selphy_print.git/

Hi
haven't been able to find a later version of the driver
Could this be a CUPS issue ?

  Then you will need to compile it from source. Here's a brief rundown:
  
  https://www.peachyphotos.com/blog/stories/building-modern-gutenprint/
  
  (Gutenprint 5.3.1 was released over three years ago, BTW..)
  
  Could this be a CUPS issue ?
  
  Nope, CUPS is just the outer shell, gutenprint is where all of the
  printer-specific stuff is found.

  Hi
  
  Got printing 4x6 working using raspberry pi 4, however when I select 2x6x2 I get media=unknown in cups and a failure to print and the following in job status:

  "Loaded media does not match job!"

  No ethernet loopback to print was required on the raspberrypi4 but was needed on a 3
  selphy_print was cloned in the pi home directory,
  
  Any help to resolve this appreciated.

installed latest version as instructed thanks.
No difference I'm afraid. any selection of a *2 media size in CUPS admin results in "media -unknown" in printer summary display and no print output Cups error "Loaded media does not match job!"

  Well, if you only have 4x6" media loaded then the 4x62 and 3.52 sizes
  will fail. But I just tested 2x6*2 prints this on a D80 (not exactly
  the same but the code shares the same decision logic) and it worked for me.
  
  So, this is what I'd like you to do. Download this:
  
  https://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/d70_2x6x2.raw
  
  And then run, as root:
  
  BACKEND=mitsu70x /usr/lib/cups/backend/gutenprint53+usb /path/to/d70_2x6x2.raw
  
  This is the exact job I had success with, generated using the current
  gutenprint code.

Thanks that works great.
I set up a separate print queue for strips in CUPS. There l cannot set the strip option as default and get it to work

  If that prints fine then the communication with the printer is fine, and
  gutenprint generates a valid image file.
  
  What are you using to print? (Airprint?) If you set the default to
  2x6*2 in CUPS, and tell it to generate a test page, does it work
  properly?

I'm closing this as I'm unable to recreate it, and by all indications it works okay.
