Hi all

Im trying to setup my proprinter 2 (i dont think my canon ip1500 is
compatible) and, according to ubuntu, CUPS is the only thing that it
will work with.

So i set it up with CUPS and print a test page, and it prints garbage.
So i tried RAW printer, still prints garbage (but atleast it in english
:P ). I tried the different ones listed other then cups, but they didnt
seem to work either

should i submit this as a bugreport or is there a way around this?

Is it a IBM Proprinter 2 or a Canon ip1500? You mention two printers.




If it's the proprinter:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=IBM-ProPrinterII




ok now that i have the ppd file downloaded (if i downloaded the right
file, it was the only file they listed), how do i install it?

--cj



When you install the printer: System|Administration|Printing|New Printer
you select Driver|IBM|ProPrinterII. Actually the driver should have
already been installed by default.



well the driver was present, but when i went to print a test page, it
printed random characters, nothing really readable
