Hello,
I got a Canon BJC5100 and I am trying to have it working under linux.
There is one guy on the net that reported it to work with the bjc600
driver (I mailed him and I am waiting for an answer).
Other people pretend it is a windows only printer. This seems wrong for
two reasons:
- no copyright Microsoft nor designed for windows sign
- the driver is able to print to a file (for instance the LBP460 has a
copyright microsoft driver and
can not print to a file). Moreover, this file can be sent to the
printer using a copy /B Sortie.prn lpt1
under Windows 98.
Then I tried to print to a file (Sortie.prn) under windows and then send
this file to the printer under linux by a simple:
cat Sortie.prn > /dev/lp0
It failed. I tried quite a few thing: lp and parport as module or in the
kernel with and without ieee1282 and with and without TRUST_IRQ with no
result.
The best I got in /proc/parport/0 is
hardware:
base: 0x378
irq: 7
dma: 3
modes: SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2
autoprobe
CLASS:PRINTER;
MODEL:BJC-5100;
MANUFACTURER:Canon;
DESCRIPTION:Canon BJC-5100;
COMMAND SET:BDIC,BSCC;
Questions:
- What means the COMMAND section in autoprobe (are these the languages
supported by the printer) ?
- How can I choose the mode I am using among SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2 ?
Under windows
the printer only work in ECPEPP mode !
- I tried to read from /dev/lp0 while I was printing to it as suggested
in some mail in the linux-parport mailing list. But this is impossible
(while I am reading from it, /dev/lp0 is reported busy if I try to write
to it. How can I fix this ?
The next thing I will try (when my monitor will be fixed ! it burned out
yesteday), is to produce a bjc600
file under linux and send it to the printer under Windows.
I join at the end of this mail the file Sortie.prn (uuencoded). It is
just a blank page with the word test on it.
