Where did you get this port number?

Page 1 of this thread "bjnp://aaa.bbb.cc.dd:8611"

I also tried 9100 and 9101

I wanted to try everything I could think of before asking for help.

The cups-bjnp-1.0.pet only applies to Canon models that are standalone networked printers. Your MG2100 is NOT one of these.

When you run the CUPS wizard is your HP P1006 auto-detected?

Run PeasyPort on the IP address 192.168.1.1. Is Port 9100 detected? Are Ports 9101 or 9102 detected?

Does your MG2100 work as a locally connected USB printer?

Do you know for sure that your router supports two printers?

My best guess is that your router would advertise the second printer as

Code: Select all

socket://192.168.1.1:9101

OK

Yes.

Run PeasyPort on the IP address 192.168.1.1. Is Port 9100 detected? Are Ports 9101 or 9102 detected?

IP: 192.168.1.1
Port: 1

Yes.

I don't know & when I searched the best info I found was this thread:

"... the way the print server works with lrp you will need to set 2 tcp/ip lrp's one for each printer, haven't tried it as i don't have 2 printers , but that's the theory"

"lrp print servers dont work with mfc's etc"

I asked on Amazon since users seem to be answering questions there.

My best guess is that your router would advertise the second printer as
Code: Select all
socket://192.168.1.1:9101

What Puppy are you using?

In the Port box, enter 9100. That port should be detected. If not, try changing the Speed settings. Then try 9101 and 9102.

If the router is not advertising a second port, then maybe there is some internal configuration necessary.

Lighthouse64 602b2

Every setting combo I tried produced the same result.

The last time I checked, Lighthouse did not contain PeasyPort. Did you install it from somewhere? If so, you got an incompatible 32-bit version.

edoc · #98 Post by **edoc** » Sat 07 Dec 2013, 17:35

It seems to want to work ...

I grabbed it from your Peasy tools thread.

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 514dc144a1

I'll run it from a 32-bit machine with Raring.

OK scanned 192.168.1.1 9100-9111 and found only 9100

Maybe the router has some internal configuration for allowing two printers. If not, I have no other suggestions.

BTW, Fatdog has the 64-bit version of PeasyPort.

There is an inherent problem with installing two USB printers like you want. Suppose you connect Printer A to the router and it gets Port 9100. Then you connect Printer B on Port 9101. You then install the printers in the client machine at those ports.

But if the printers get turned on in the opposite order, they might get the opposite ports and your client setups will now be wrong.

edoc · #101 Post by **edoc** » Sat 07 Dec 2013, 22:02

If they power-up in the wrong order could I not power both off then use two different versions of that Console command line you gave me to reset them one at a time?

BTW: I'm willing to leave the color printer off most of the time and to only power it up as needed - if that is necessary.

So the solution may be to just swap printers when someone needs to print color.

If I want to do that on the fly what would be the most-simple way to get CUPS to see the settings for the color printer when switched in vs the usually on P1006?

rcrsn51 · #102 Post by **rcrsn51** » Sat 07 Dec 2013, 23:58

There are a number of strategies for handling the Canon printer, from using it as a local USB printer on a particular computer, to buying a little network-attached printer server box.

All I can suggest is that you try it different ways and see which is more convenient.

edoc · #103 Post by **edoc** » Sun 08 Dec 2013, 04:54

Thanks for your assistance.

I will experiment a bit.

BTW: How would I alter the Console reset command line for the P1006 if I swap-in the MG2100 now and then, please?

cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihoP1006.dl | nc -w 1 192.168.1.1:9100

It wouldn't change. You still only get to use Port 9100.

edoc · #105 Post by **edoc** » Sun 08 Dec 2013, 13:00

This part "sihoP1006.dl" isn't device-specific?

rcrsn51 · #106 Post by **rcrsn51** » Sun 08 Dec 2013, 13:22

The command ONLY applies to the HP. The Canon does not require firmware.

Hello,

I need install canon E510 driver, please, help me!

thank.

rcrsn51 · #109 Post by **rcrsn51** » Mon 16 Dec 2013, 03:00

This E-series must only be available in Asia. I have built the driver and posted it here. Click the gray Download button on the left.

In CUPS, your printer will be listed as a Canon E510 Series, not as a PIXMA.

Please report back. If the driver works, I will build the matching scanner driver.

ghegheg · #110 Post by **ghegheg** » Mon 16 Dec 2013, 17:36

It's work!
Thank you very much for help!
Can you give a scan driver for this Canon E510 ?
