Hi ! I was using this printer for a while, and decided to make it print, even in Linux. So I tried several printer models from foomatic, but I always had problems. So, i tried to write my own ppd file, starting from bj600.ppd. Here is the first version. It discards the "half-sized or quarter-sized print" problem, but it is limited to 600 dpi resolution, and I still have a problem with the bottom margin. The modifications I made may allow other Canon printers to work too, I don't know. I also didn't test it with other paper formats, so... any help welcome !
Created attachment 82111 [details] canon ip3000 preliminary ppd file
Created attachment 82194 [details] pixma ip3000 ppd, with a few additions from Canon MultiPass C3000 ppd
Please submit this upstream to the linuxprinting.org guys so it will get into gentoo with the next version bump, we will not include every single ppd manually
