'Usblp' is a kernel module and its presence showed up under 'lsmod|grep usblp'ġ1) All seemed well on the hardware side so ran CUPS again and added a new printer called 'canontest'.
#CANON MX330 DRIVER DOWNLOAD DRIVER#
Checked 'dmesg' which showed the printer had been assigned to port '/dev/usb/lp0' with driver 'usblp'. Exit CUPS.ġ0) Plugged Canon MX310 (this is usually connected to my openSUSE 11.0 system) into a USB port and powered on. Printer had still not been powered on or connected to the computer at this stage.ĩ) Went to 'Manage Printing' (CUPS at localhost:631) and checked to see if there were any USB options for Adding a new USB printer. Clicked to accept.Ĩ) Re-Logged on as root (very bad, I know, but it does save a lot of time in some situations). Note that the 64bit verion 'libpopt0' was already installed. This showed the 'cnijfilter-common' and 'libpopt0-32bit' rpms had been chain selected as dependencies. The two rpms are called 'cnijfilter-common' and 'cnijfilter-mx330series'Ħ) Selected the 'cnijfilter-mx330series' for installation and then checked the 'Installation Summary' tab.
You can set up such a personal repository for the odd package under Yast.Ĥ) Ran Yast and than Software Management.ĥ) Searched for the string 'cnij'. This is a gzipped tar that contains two rpms and an 'install.sh' script.Ģ) Extracted the two rpms and ignored the 'install.sh' scriptģ) I moved the two rpms to my local, simple directory, repository at '/usr/local/rpm'.
#CANON MX330 DRIVER DOWNLOAD DRIVERS#
I decided to try installing the Canon MX330 drivers myself (Canon do not provide a Linux driver for the MX310 note) as follows:ġ) Downloaded the RPM package from the Canon site. However, working on the assumptions that:Ī) the MX330 has more or less the same guts as the MX310 with just a newer plastic box andī) openSUSE 11.2 is a slightly enhanced version of openSUSE 11.1,
I cannot replicate s660117's situation exactly because I have openSUSE 11.2 and a Canon MX310 and he/she has openSUSE 11.1 and a Canon MX330. Well here I am again hopefully with some positive news.
