Hi,
after latest update command, it could last a few days or more than a week ago, I actually ran into serious printer issues with my Cannon Pixma MP240 multifunctional printer. Any print job only shows up in the print-list, but isn’t processed. Direct hardware scan-print worked, so the printer is fine.
The MP240 was already installed using the AUR canon-pixma-mp240-complete.git driver. Printing text, pdf or other sources without any issue, also scanning worked for years with Garuda Cinnamon.
Checked the wires (3xusb-wire in a row), checked the driver, even tried to setup a new printer on a second computer with the above mentioned driver. Unfortunately the driver seems to be outdated, as installation ran into an issue regarding missing driver file MP240_debian_driver.tar from bound-in Canon website. Checking the website brings note about ‘Unfortunately your device is no longer supported under the selected operating system.’, so the base of the AUR driver package is broken/deleted.
Checking the MP240 with other distribution, Linux Mint 2.1.2, on USB stick showed a fully working printer (tested) from sratch. Probably their stable version still holds the needed driver, but then it will still get broken with next version I guess.
So, why does a fully working MP240 get broken on Garuda Cinnamon without me replacing or updating my driver? I do not really get how this worked out and I do not have any clue how to fix that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx!
Here is the ‘garuda-inxi’ output. If you explain, I surely will provide other informations as needed.
