Description Jonas Jonsson 2006-04-20 08:11:03 UTC
Hi..

It would be nice to have an ebuild for the newer Canon lasershot cups driver, since there is an Linux driver on there webpage, see url.
Comment 1 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-04-23 02:05:41 UTC
We are a small team currently, sorry, no way.
Comment 2 Jonas Jonsson 2006-06-09 13:54:25 UTC
I have created 2 ebuilds and a init.d script for the Canon cups driver. I have only AMD64 to test it on, but since it's a x86 it should work.

There are some problems running it on amd64. The dev-libs/popt and dev-libs/libxml2 are needed as 32bits version since there are precompiled libs with this driver. There is a check for this in the ebuild so you just have to copy these files from another machine.

I'm a little unsure about the license stuff so someone with a little bit more knowledge could please check that out.

Hi.. Haven't really used the printer over Samba, but if the printer is connected to the WindowsXP machine then something like this?

/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP5000 -o net:172.23.2.72

I have take that from the drivers page at: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0023675.asp?model=

And for the manual: http://software.canon-europe.com/files/soft23675/manual/guide-capt-1.3xE.tar.gz

Glad to hear that someone but me has use for the ebuilds.

Hey,
I also have use for these ebuilds, currently emerging them. Thank you for writing them, I was starting to get to the point where I was going to buy a ethernet printer and print server :P
Comment 11 Adrian Pavone 2007-01-05 07:18:07 UTC
It appears that these ebuilds were built for 1.30, and 1.30-1 is the current incarnation on the Canon website.

Hmm... I can only see the version from 04-04-2006 wich is 1.30 at this page

The link in the ebuild is dead, this is the new link

Try emerge with --digest. Have you used the old ebuild perhaps?

Will look at this when I get to the computer with the printer... Hopefully during the week ahead.

Yeah, noticed that, I did a search on the website for the driver, and found that the current one was 1.30-1 instead of 1.30 was my point.

It emerged properly with --digest :). Thanks.

Following the output from the end of the ebuild:

* Now you can add your printer with either the webinterface or lpadmin
 *
 * /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0
 -E
 *
 * Replace 1120 with either on of the following printers:
 * 1120 1210 2900 3000 3200 3210 3300 5000

I am getting this result:

terminator / # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3000 -m CNCUPSLBP3000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
lpadmin: Bad device-uri "ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0"!

The file is definitely there though:

terminator / # ls /var/ccpd/fifo0 -l
prw------- 1 lp lp 0 Jan  7 13:00 /var/ccpd/fifo0

Any idea what the problem is here?

Seems like ebuild installs cups backend and filters to /usr/lib/cups while new versions of cups are using /usr/libexec/cups. Copying /usr/lib/cups/* to /usr/libexec/cups/ fixed this problem for me. Maybe have to change ebuild to install to proper location?

Yes, it seems that this is the case. However I have net-print/cups-1.2.6 installed and it installs in /usr/libexec but I have capt stuff in /usr/lib/cups and it is working. This could be some backward compatible stuff, but I really don't know anything about that. What version are you using of cups?

Don't have much this week to check it out, maybe next week I'll give it a look and fix the ebuild.

I'm using cups-1.2.6 and it doesn't look in /usr/lib/cups.
Comment 17 Yurii Zolotko 2007-01-11 16:51:04 UTC
I've also noticed that capt driver fails silently every print if ghostscript-gpl is installed, but works fine with ghostscript-esp. Perhaps app-text/ghostscript-esp have to be added to RDEPEND.

I spend something like 30hours trying to install the lbp5000 thanks to source given by canon...

I failed

And here i see an ebuild. Then I tried it and compilation works. But nothing print...

At least /usr/bin/captstatusui -P LBP5000 answer the printer is ready to print. and when i reboot the printer, it shows the steps the printer is following : then there is a communication !!!!! but i cant print anything and i dunno why... have you an idea ?

Hmm... Never used the captstatusui... Have you checked that the ccpd is actually running? I had some problems that cups believed that the file had been printed but it hang in some converting stuff to there protocol.

I would check that in cups that the device is ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 . Check with cups to see if you can printout a test page from there.

I would also check the /etc/ccpd.conf and see if the printer is listed as it should there. There seems to be some sort of logging in there, but I have never used it. You might wanna checkout that. Look in the manual and see if there is some info about it.

This printer is USB right, because as far as I know this driver only work with USB.

Hope you get it to work...

My LBP5000 is logged in there.

yes it's usb printer
Comment 23 Arnaud Fleurentdidier Messaoudi 2007-03-07 18:26:44 UTC
this ebuild seems to not work with amd64 and lbp5000 but there is a way to make the printer works.

ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/lasershot/linux

here you can find x64 release of common package. I think it was required by my system because ebuild havent run until i rpm2tar the x64 common package and replaced the installed files manualy.

I hope this help.

NB : with 32 bits common package, my printer's monitor "captstatusui -P LBP5000" was able to tell me what the printer was doing (calibrating, sleeping, ready to print etc) but i wasn't able to print anything
Comment 24 Jonas Jonsson 2007-03-07 19:22:23 UTC
(In reply to comment #23)

Great to hear that your printer is working.

Can't really say why I didn't work for you. Since the common-src package is compiled to 64bit binaries.

Gonna do a complete reinstall soon, so I might spot some problems with it then.
But on the other hand this could be related to the LBP5000 printer to.
Comment 25 Arnaud Fleurentdidier Messaoudi 2007-03-07 21:06:43 UTC
as i said you : there is a captmonLBP5000 release; Maybe the problem comes from captmon program and then it's really specific to the printer.

The files the 64bits package replaced sometimes had different sizes in comparison with your ebuild ones.

Once the ebuild will be fixed, i hope the capt drivers will be in the portage !
Comment 26 Bernard Willers 2007-04-11 02:56:59 UTC
So after struggling with the ridiculous canon drivers for the last five hours I stumble upon this ebuild. I'd love to give it a try, but I'm a bit of a gentoo newbie, how can I emerge an from a file? the emerge command just complains about how emerging by path is broken?

You have to create a local overlay. In short you need to create a local portage tree in ex. /usr/local/portage that looks something like this
./net-print
./net-print/cndrvcups-capt
./net-print/cndrvcups-capt/files
./net-print/cndrvcups-capt/files/cndrvcups-capt-init.d
./net-print/cndrvcups-capt/cndrvcups-capt-1.30-r1.ebuild
./net-print/cndrvcups-common
./net-print/cndrvcups-common/files
./net-print/cndrvcups-common/files/cndrvcups-common-1.30-gcc-4.diff
./net-print/cndrvcups-common/cndrvcups-common-1.30.ebuild

Then in the /etc/make.conf you need to tell portage where to look for you local overlay. Add a line like PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

Now you can emerge it almost as normal, use emerge cndrvcups-capt --digest 
This will create the needed checksums.

Ah, understanding dawns :) Unfortunately the second build (capt) failed with the error:
    * The file libpopt.so.0 need to be in /usr/lib32
    * Since there aren't any emul-linux-x86 package for these you need to manually copy these files from another machine.

I'm assuming the libpopt.so.0 lying in /usr/lib64 is a no good, which leaves me with a bit of a problem since I don't have a 32bit machine I can copy these files from... don't suppose you could give me an idea where to get hold of it? (google has been of no avail yet)

Thanks

Hmm ok nevermind my silliness. So I've gotten the driver emerged, but I still get the same ominous error that I did when, captstatusui simply tells me "Check the DevicePath of /etc/ccpd.conf", yet the device path listed there, namely /dev/usb/lp0 is exactly correct. Anyone else had this problem?

I get that error if I use lbp1120 instead of LBP1120 as my Printer. When starting captstatusui.

Check the /etc/ccpd.conf <Printer LBP1120> tag and see if it's just a simple CaseMissMatch...

I have never used the captstatusui by the way...

cndrvcups-common-1.30-fast-add-tail.patch

When using this driver I've encountered a problem that some types of documents, especially images being printed from GQView, are being processed extremely long, ( for example printing single A4 color image from GQView in 600x600 DPI on my LBP5000 took several hours ) and pstocapt2 filter process consumes 99% CPU during this. I've done some profiling and found significant performance bottleneck in pstocapt2 filter. Here are two patches that fix this ( this reduced time of printing A4 image to few seconds ). Everyone who experience the same problems should try this.

Comment 33 Jonas Jonsson 2007-10-06 14:33:35 UTC
I have updated the ebuild to version 1.50.

Canon has added support for more printers, don't know which one.

Changes since last ebuild
* Skip building the captstatusgui, it depends on gtk 1.2, never use it anyway. ccpdadmin displays some of the information.
* Added the fast-add-tail patch from Yurii Zolotko
* Updated the fast-add-tail patch for capt package to be used by all filters.
* Added the .so file in the files directory, yes this isn't the best thing but I want the file to belong to the package
* The gcc-4 patch isn't needed anymore.
* Install the filters and backend in the correct directory, libexec instead of lib.
* Skipped the restrict fetch thing, since the file is available through the ftp server.

I gave up on my Canon printer, but after a quick look at the new file, it's almost the same as the old version. With some small adjustments to the 1.50 ebuild the 1.60 should work. The old one is an rpm, this is a .tar.bz2.

I will leave the net-print tarball at my site if anyone is intressded   to continue the work.

Since I have sold my printer I will not contiune this ebuild, sorry.

Thank you for the new ebuilds.
I've created a new tarball which contains now additionally the new ebuilds and updated the Manifest files (digest).


I've replaced the link to the new tarball on the gentoo wiki side: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Canon_LBP_5000_using_proprietary_Canon_drivers

and added a short info for upgrading from previous verion.
Comment 46 Sergey Belyashov 2008-03-14 22:15:48 UTC
1.50 work fine for me (2007.0, amd athlon-900, 128MB).
1.60 installs fine, but ccpd do not want run. When I start it before cups it do not work. When I start it after cups it dies (after fork() call) with segmentation fault.
Comment 47 Markus Layr 2008-04-08 09:50:08 UTC
On two machines cups doesn't work at the moment:

The web interface of cups prints this message.

"/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocapt2 failed"

A downgrade to Version 1.50 of CAPT didn't help, also a downgrade to older versions of cups!

Thank you very much, printing works now again for me.
I will update the tarball on the wiki howto page.
I had to remove the app-text/ghostscript-esp package to reinstall the cndrvcups-capt driver ebuild which requires now app-text/ghostscript-gpl.

Comment 53 Marc Elser 2009-06-13 19:02:22 UTC
Hi,

Just a quick question, does anybody have an updated ebuild for the 1.80 drivers which are available since nov 2008 from canon? Can I simply exchange the version number and it will work or is it more likely that v1.80 needs a completely new ebuild?

Thanks for letting me know.

Comment 60 Johanus 2009-06-19 18:02:19 UTC
Hi - I have problem with this driver (1.80). I emerged -capt and -common. That was OK. After that I tried to add my printer (I have LBP 2900):

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP2900 -o /dev/usblp0

Everything seems to be OK, but printer doesn't work. When I try to run capstatusui, I get this error: "*** captstatusui Error: No Specified Printer ***". And I am SURE that printer is connected (can see it with lsusb command)

I think that problem might be in ccpdadmin. Because when I run CCPDADMIN (as root, of course) I get this:
<snip>
 CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/
 LOG Path        = /var/log/CCPD/
 UI Port         = 59787

     [0]    : LBP2900   : ccp           : /var/ccpd/fifo0       : /dev/usb/lp0  :
<snip>

There is NO printer status. When I try to print something, I can see that job in queue. But thats all. Nothing prints. Does anybody know what can I do to fix it please? Thanls
Comment 61 Dmitry Ivankov 2009-07-30 20:02:16 UTC
I'm too getting a segfault on print, with 1.80.

Ebuild does not work. Cups accepts the job, says 'Processing' and nothing more. Tried on two computers (amd64, x86).

Well, i get configure warnings too, but it compiles fine for me (i use cups-1.4.1). May be you need to run lafilefixer --justfixit or revdep-rebuild?

I've removed them in the last ebuild
Comment 77 Karl-Robert Ernst 2009-10-26 22:20:00 UTC
Just wanted to say that the 1.90 versions of these drivers don't work for me here (LBP2900, amd64). They emerge fine, but nothing gets printed (also cups interface shows nothing in queue). Going back to the 1.80 ebuild fixed the issues.

I've used 1.90_p1 ebuild and ccpd file is not created. Where can I download it? Could someone give me link?

P.S. I've done everything said in postinstall message. Thanks for this ebuild. :)
Comment 82 Krzysztof Beresztant 2009-11-23 16:52:27 UTC
Still can't get it working. It all installs good, but all jobs stay in queue forever. The printer works correctly on Debian and Ubuntu, so i'm using Debian system on virtualbox for printing.

I tried the 1.90_[1. It installs ok (some collision warnings though), and I can create the printer in CUPS, following the instructions. I see the following through the CUPS HTTP interface:

Description: LBP1210
Location:
Printer Driver: Canon LBP1210 CAPT ver.1.5
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 

However, whenever I try to print a test page it is added into the 'finished jobs' queue, but it's not physically printed! I think somebody else was having a similar problem above.

I'm running on AMD64.

I tried 1.8 version, but this resulted in a segfault of ccpd.

One of the other problems I'm having is that I can't get ccpd to log any output, even though I've configured it in /etc/ccpd.conf. ccpdadmin shows the following:

LOG Path = /var/log/ccpd/

But this directory is always empty. I though this would give me a clue as to what is wrong.


Any ideas?

Hmm that's strange. I tried 1.80 again, and the same result.

Both versions give me the following output in /var/log/cups/error_log:
I [20/Jan/2010:22:39:27 +0000] [Job 54] Started filter /usr/libexec/cups/filter/texttops (PID 24988)

I [20/Jan/2010:22:39:29 +0000] [Job 54] Completed successfully.


Also, I've found that I can fool ccpd into piping out the commands it would send to /dev/usb/lp0, by simply running ccpdadmin -p <printer> -o /tmp/myfile. And this appears to show that it is actually writing stuff out ... 

So I can't figure out what's wrong! As I said above, it would be great if I had some way of getting ccpd to output what it's doing. 

Besides that, I can only imagine that there may be something wrong with my USB subsystem. I have a kernel 2.6.31 and it looks ok though

For the lips4 driver I had to remove the --libdir=/usr/libexec from the econf line in the ebuild. Otherwise I get pages with "Unable to open the initial device". Did cost me a while to figure that out.
Comment 88 Pavel Volkov 2010-02-23 10:24:22 UTC
I have the same problem as Luciano for 1.90 (printer LBP2900), AMD64
After redirecting output from /dev/usb/lp0 to /tmp/myfile, I got the following output in there (hex form):

00000000  a1 a1 04 00 a1 a1 04 00  a1 a1 04 00 a1 a1 04 00
00000010  a1 a1 04 00

The ccpd log file isn't created for me as well.

1.80 was working fine before, but it segfaults now. 1.60 was working too, but cannot download its files anymore.
Comment 89 Dmitry Ivankov 2010-02-23 16:34:24 UTC
Hi folks!
I unfortunately have LBP-1120 printer and was never able to print under linux (except printing through virtual machine). Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of us managed to print with it and with some other printers too.
Maybe it is the time to switch from gentoo bugzilla to "fix the printing" project?
What do we have: several users with the hardware, broken closed-source system(cndrvcups), not that working open-source reverse-engineered one (www.boichat.ch/nicolas/capt/), working closed-source system (windows driver), usb sniffers, gdb and some free time.

Ok, in short: does anyone have cndrvcups working under Gentoo or another distro? If not then let's start hacking it together as a separate project, or if yes then let's find out how to make all our setups work here, in Gentoo bugzilla.

  Hello!
  I am a very poor programmer, but I would really like to help. :) How can I do it? 
  At least, I've got "Canon i-sensys LBP3010" and I can play with it a bit to help testing or bug-fixing. Maybe even "USB-sniffing" (or how you call it) if you tell me how to do it.

  Regards,
  Vladimir.

Yes, 1.80 is still working perfectly fine for me (both x86 and x86_64 ) ( LBP-1120 )

I confirm. cndrvcups 1.90 is perfectly running under Gentoo, installed from ebuilds offered here. But...
There is a bug in cndrvcups-capt-1.90_p1.ebuild: binaries "/usr/bin/captmoncn*" require libstdc++.so.5. And ebuild lacks this dependence.

Try to "emerge libstdc++-v3" for example. Or debug ccpd with "strace -f ccpd 2>&1 | less" command.

Looks like I get the same results on amd64, I at last printed something with 1.80 and libstdc++, will retest it anyway.
Things to remember when digging it:
- lsof /dev/lp0, to see if there are "hung" processes
- kill them (ccpd and captmon)
- just in case try to reattach print and turn it on/off
- strace ccpd didn't give me much info, only pointed that /dev/lp0 was busy
- strace wrap for captmon didn't give anything, shows just "started new 32-bit pid"

Bugs seen:
- without libstdc++-v3 printing is completed silently without actual printing
- sometimes captmon hangs and eats one cpu core (maybe it's when /dev/lp0 is busy, gdb pointed to select() call)
- sometimes ccpd crash
ccpd[9146]: segfault at f72ea004 ip 00000000f7da0a99 sp 00000000ffc14034 error 4 in libc-2.9.so[f7d34000+137000]

Also I have 32bit machine at hand, so will test on x86 too.

  Hello!
  So what about developing a free (like in "freedom" :) ) driver for Canon printers? Is there any programmer who knows how to write drivers here? It seems to be a problem of many people trying to use these printers under GNU/Linux. That's why I think there are a lot of people who will participate. At least there is a huge field for future testing. :)

  Vladimir.

Looks like 1.80 and libstdc++ works quite good, for me it prints all jobs fine except that sometimes several pages are printed twice.

Don't have any drivers or kernel experience, have lbp-1120, and developer skills, mostly in c++, willing to participate.

Imho, the first and the fastest thing to do is to polish these ebuilds.
And it'll be sufficient for this very bugzilla issue.

  Well, in my case (Canon LBP3010 on amd64 machine) none of these drivers work. With both 1.80 and 1.90 all the printing jobs become "accomplished" without being actually printed.

I'm ready to "USB-sniff", test and report (those are the only things I can do, I guess). But somebody competent in programming is still needed. Are there any volunteers? :)

And by the way, there are some tips on developing such driver in the article by  Nicolas Boichat mentioned above. We could use them also.
What do you guys think?

  I knew nothing about 'ccpdadmin' and that it is necessary to configure it somehow. I just added a new printer (which is automatically detected) on the administration page in CUPS web-UI.
But after you had asked about it, I tried to configure ccpdadmin. I added a printer (configured with CUPS web interface earlier) to it and now it shows something like this:

########## Quote ##########
Usage: 
  ccpdadmin [-p Printer-name -o Printer-dev-path]

  So, it looks like it is configured somehow at the moment. 
  'usblp' module is also active (since /dev/usblp0 device is present in the system)

  And after this configuration the printing tasks are not getting 'accomplished' any more. It says that printer is currently printing, but it still doesn't actually print anything.

cndrvcups-capt-2.20.ebuild

I tried to install the relatively new CAPT v.2.2 driver with the attached ebuilds:
    cndrvcups-capt-2.20.ebuild
    cndrvcups-common-2.20.ebuild
which I changed slightly to install on amd64, but unfortunately it's the same old story: when I send a print job to a printer, this job becomes "accomplished" immediately - without the actual printing. The printer remains silent.

Is is an amd64-only problem or a Gentoo-specific?

Regards,
  Vladimir

cndrvcups-common-2.20.ebuild

Note: these ebuilds still need the manual driver archive downloading and extracting of the cndrvcups-capt-2.20.tar.gz and cndrvcups-common-2.20.tar.gz from it.

  I've just found a thread on LOR discussing the opensource driver for some models of Canon printers. It looks like those guys really have some success in reverse-engineering and developing a free driver.
  Here is a wiki-article describing in short the current status of the process (Russian): http://wiki.omskedu.ru/index.php?title=Разработка_открытого_драйвера_для_принтеров_Canon_LBP

  And here is a SourceForge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/foo2capt/
Maybe we should join their campaign? I'm ready. What do you say? ;)

Are you interested in maintaning this driver directly yourself in the new 
printer-drivers overlay [1]?

If yes, just send me via personal e-mail at dilfridge@gentoo.org the
following data, so we can give you git push access to the overlay:
* the user name that you'd like to have
* your public ssh key [2], so we can give you git push access to the overlay
* your e-mail address
* and your full name
If you have a gnupg key, you should sign that e-mail [3].

Just a few rules:
* Initially, the ebuilds should work for you, and not break
  anything else.
* You enter yourself as maintainer in metadata.xml (together with
  the printing herd), and are then automatically cc'ed in bug reports 
  on bugzilla.
* We will guide you towards improving the ebuilds over the next 
  months so they follow the rules and qa guidelines of the Gentoo 
  main portage tree. In particular this means also using a recent
  EAPI (3 or perferably 4), and fixing repoman warnings [4].
  Don't worry, we'll help you with that.
* I hope this is never going to happen, but... ebuilds that "work but 
  go against the guidelines" and do not see any improvement will be 
  removed again one year after initial addition.

There are many ways to get help.
* You can directly ask me by personal e-mail (my time is limited, 
  but I'll try), 
* you can ask on freenode, channel #gentoo-dev-help,
* you can read the documentation (ebuild howto [5], devmanual [6]), 
* ...

cndrvcups-capt-2.40.ebuild

New ebuild for the 2.4 version of the printer driver.

Most prominent change is that I removed the fifo, as the manual suggests doing it with sockets. Unfortunately when updating from a previous version, you have to adjust your cups configuration accordingly.

I have tried many versions to make my CAPT printer(Canon LBP 5050) work. I have totally failed with this on amd64. ccpd provides absolutely no logs :'(
Comment 123 Pavel Volkov 2013-05-29 07:06:22 UTC
I suggest you (Canon users) connect the printer to Windows machine and print remotely (as I have done long ago, cndrvcups had too many issues and was supported poorly).
You'll need to install GhostScript and Redmon on Windows.
Redmon creates a virtual PostScript printer. What CUPS sends to that printer is then redirected to your Canon printer. Email me if you fail doing that.

I succeeded in using my Canon LBP-3010 printer on Debian, so there might be no need in using Windows. I described the packaging process here: http://wiki.wombat.org.ua/doku.php/canon
The page is in Russian, but I can translate it if there is a need. But all the commands are more or less self-explanatory there.
Comment 125 Sergey Metelev 2013-07-02 11:04:11 UTC
The 2.40 tar.gz driver sources archieves is not available any more at canon sites. There are new one, 2.56, but I had failed compile it with the 2.40 ebuild and don't have skills enough to modify ebuild in depth.

With previous versions, 2.20 and 2.00 my printer doesn't work also. Nor with 1.80.

It would be great if someone will adopt 2.40 ebuild to 2.56 drivers, maybe it will help.

The details of the crash:
emerge --info '=net-print/cndrvcups-common-2.56-r1' http://pastebin.com/0aUk1RXL
emerge -pqv '=net-print/cndrvcups-common-2.56-r1' http://pastebin.com/tmc3LBNa
build.log http://pastebin.com/tjS6bRu8

I do modify only names of ebuild and "MY_P" variable, to point to right tar.gz archieves:

This are ebuild for version 2.60 of Canon CAPT Printer drivers

I have created new ebuilds for version 2.60.

Ebuilds are using tar.gz package found at: http://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/printers/laser/laser_shot_lbp1120.aspx


I have only tested them on x86, I don't know if ebuilds will work for amd64, I would guess that some more handling would be necessary.

I was using previous ebuilds with some info form net-print/cndrvcups-common-lb since those have some similarity (like one big file with .deb, .rpm and .tar.gz packages inside.


Default instructions use /dev/usb/lp0 device created by usblp module, which is by default blacklisted by net-print/cups, easiest way around this is recompiling cups with USE="-usb".

I have tested it with cups-1.7.5 and I'm still not certain how it is woriking wit cups-2.0.2

Of course, default Local Overlay instructions apply: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay/Local_overlay



Please test and report back.

net-print-cndrvcups.tar.gz

Here it is again, my local copy is normal .tar.gz archive. But downloaded is strange.
Comment 131 Marko Djordjevic 2015-05-27 07:18:25 UTC
It looks like Bugzilla is gzipping it another time, so I'm not sure how to upload tar.gz or what is preferred way to upload couple of ebuilds and make it easier for others.

Any advice would be welcomed.
Comment 132 Marko Djordjevic 2015-05-27 20:03:39 UTC
One way to download this archive is using wget (that way it will not be double gzipped):

wget -O net-print-cndrvcups.tar.gz  https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=404052


But better way is to go to github repo and make contributions easier:

I tested this successfully on latest x86_64 kernel 4.4.6-gentoo with cups-2.1.3-r1 on Canon LBP2900. It was not very clear from the wiki what exactly should I download and where to move it. For example, I went to Canon website and tried to download driver 2.60, but there was 2.70 and 2.20. I downloaded 2.70, but didn't know where to move the downloaded file. Next I understood, that "repoman manifest" command downloads 2.60 driver from gentoo repositories (the 4th on for me, as first 3 did not contain the drivers). I also had problems with automatically starting ccpd service on system startup. I am relatively new to Gentoo and tried to add following lines to /etc/init.d/ccpd without success:
depend ()
{
  need cupsd
}

I solved this problem by creating an EXECUTABLE file /etc/local.d/ccpd.start:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/ccpd restart

Here are all successful steps:
emerge --ask net-print/cups
/etc/init.d/cupsd start
rc-update add cupsd default
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/{metadata,profiles}
echo 'CanonCAPT'>/usr/local/portage/profiles/repo_name
echo 'masters = gentoo' > /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf
chown -R portage:portage /usr/local/portage
mkdir -p /etc/portage/repos.conf
vim /etc/portage/repos.conf/local.conf

location = /usr/local/portage
masters = gentoo
auto-sync = no

cd /usr/local/portage/
wget https://github.com/homoludens/canoncapt-euilds/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv canoncapt-euilds-master/* .
rmdir canoncapt-euilds-master

reboot

The last .desktop file was intended to start captstatusui, but it did not for some reason. Anyway, I copied it to the desktop, so that I can start it manually. The -e option did not pop-up the program, when there was an error. I had some problems, when some printed pages were A4 and others - Letter, or when there was no paper in the printer. In all these cases the printer was paused and it needed to be resumed from the web interface at localhost:631, supplying the root credentials.
Thank you for the good job. I am expecting a new ebuild for 2.70 drivers and probably including it in Gentoo repositories!
