Hmmm .....

@plankenstein

That's okay and no harm done. Was just wondering perhaps you're busy with life and hadn't gotten to it yet ... don't fret about it ...

Anyway, yes, I thought of them as preliminary driver set because while I'm pretty sure I got them laid out in proper order, I may have missed a thing or two ... so, a direct pm will cut down some chatter and get it done right ...


@DaveS

Dave, I would prefer to first verify that its working fine before letting the world now ... I wouldn't want to waste anyone's time getting half-baked drivers.

I've already completed rebuilding canon pixma/mfp drivers for v2.80, v2.90, v3.00 and v3.10 series (about 16 models, I think). I'll be posting them as soon as I can ... (yes, it'll also include ip4600) ...

However, I'm experiencing some intermittent net connection (again). Have to do some troubleshooting with my connections/devices first ...

Here is a driver. Your printer will be listed in CUPS as "Canon iP2600 series".

WORKS LIKE A CHARM on Lucid 5.28
HUGE THANKS!


Unfortunately, my copy of Slacko is a puppy derivative and the cups localhost:631 page gives me a 404 file not found.

Browsing through the system it appears that there are a lot of cups directories. I don't know what the deal with the CUPS wizard is. I'm looking into it.

Printing in Slacko works exactly like in Lucid. So your error message indicates that you have broken something. Possibly, you have installed an incompatible package.

thanks for the tip. is there a way to re-install CUPS? or perhaps doing that will break whatever package broke CUPS.
