There is some backend stuff in a similar situation but I left that for now.ġ7) Attempted to do a test page for 'canontest' but it still complained about the missing filter as before.
#Canon mx330 installation 64 Bit
I think there was an earlier post about this possible problem and the cause is that CUPS, on a 64 bit system, looks in '/usr/lib64' for some components instead of '/usr/lib' where the Canon rpms store them.ġ6) Decided to do a naughty and copied 'pstocanonij' from '/usr/lib/cups/filter' to '/usr/lib64/cups/filter'. 'Filter pstocanonij for printer canontest not available. Accepted the suggestion.ġ3) CUPS then asked for a user name and password and I entered 'root' and its password.ġ4) CUPS reported that 'Printer canontest has been successfully installed' (roughly - I didn't write that all down) and then showed the 'Set Printer Options' page.ġ5) Changed the paper size from US letter to A4 and clicked the 'Set Printer Options' button. On the Device drop down list on the next page I now had the relevant options of:ġ2) Clicked continue and after several seconds it then proceeded to the next page where the 'Canon MX330 series Ver 3.10' entry was highlighted in the drop down list of PPD files. 'Usblp' is a kernel module and its presence showed up under 'lsmod|grep usblp'ġ1) All seemed well on the hardware side so ran CUPS again and added a new printer called 'canontest'.

Checked 'dmesg' which showed the printer had been assigned to port '/dev/usb/lp0' with driver 'usblp'. Exit CUPS.ġ0) Plugged Canon MX310 (this is usually connected to my openSUSE 11.0 system) into a USB port and powered on. Printer had still not been powered on or connected to the computer at this stage.ĩ) Went to 'Manage Printing' (CUPS at localhost:631) and checked to see if there were any USB options for Adding a new USB printer. Clicked to accept.Ĩ) Re-Logged on as root (very bad, I know, but it does save a lot of time in some situations). Note that the 64bit verion 'libpopt0' was already installed. This showed the 'cnijfilter-common' and 'libpopt0-32bit' rpms had been chain selected as dependencies.
The two rpms are called 'cnijfilter-common' and 'cnijfilter-mx330series'Ħ) Selected the 'cnijfilter-mx330series' for installation and then checked the 'Installation Summary' tab.

You can set up such a personal repository for the odd package under Yast.Ĥ) Ran Yast and than Software Management.ĥ) Searched for the string 'cnij'. This is a gzipped tar that contains two rpms and an 'install.sh' script.Ģ) Extracted the two rpms and ignored the 'install.sh' scriptģ) I moved the two rpms to my local, simple directory, repository at '/usr/local/rpm'.
#Canon mx330 installation drivers
I decided to try installing the Canon MX330 drivers myself (Canon do not provide a Linux driver for the MX310 note) as follows:ġ) Downloaded the RPM package from the Canon site.
However, working on the assumptions that:Ī) the MX330 has more or less the same guts as the MX310 with just a newer plastic box andī) openSUSE 11.2 is a slightly enhanced version of openSUSE 11.1, I cannot replicate s660117's situation exactly because I have openSUSE 11.2 and a Canon MX310 and he/she has openSUSE 11.1 and a Canon MX330. Well here I am again hopefully with some positive news.
