Help with Canon LaserShot Printer - Linux

Posted this in General Hardware, but then thought it mightbe the wrong place... can anyone help me out? As per another post I did
sudo yum update cups
but that didn't help any advice would be great!

 

You *might* be able to find out why it isn't printing by taking a look at cups error log file?

In a terminal:

cd /var/log/cups
sudo cat error_log

should be some errors at the end of that file displayed that might help ascertain the problem. BTW, not all viewing of log files requires sudo - only those log files owned by root.

If you want to page through and read the log:

sudo less error_log
Use Q to quit less.

Cheers.

 

Thanks for your reply. This is the only line that looks like a problem.Does that mean anything to you?

E [10/Oct/2008:21:12:24 -1100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported

 

Don't know if this will help at all, but maybe you can try this.

http://localhost:631

Go to Printers tab, find your printer and Set Allowed Users and and your username "user".

Cheers.

 

Thanks, I'll try that...
