JuanPabloCuervo · Post by **JuanPabloCuervo** » Mon Sep 05, 2011 4:06 pm

Hi...

problem is:
i have a software that needs a printer.
http://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/index.html

i try to install a Windows XP printer... Canon iP1800
but the driver instalation asks for a Print Spooler... or wont install.

any ideas?

In other Ubuntu 10 lts 32bit PC i have installed the iP1800 as iP1900.
it works ok.
could not make it work in a 64bit Linux.

XP drivers:

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine. You need to install the Linux driver for your printer. If it's installed in CUPS, Wine apps should just see it.

You can download the Linux printer driver from here (Canon Europe Site)

First check if a printer driver is included with your Linux distribution
(some do include various printer drivers.)

Hi,

the Europe files are .rpm
im using Ubuntu & Kxstudio "Debian"
alien converts to .deb
but drivers v2.7 don`t work,
only the iP1900 v3.0 work.

anyway.... Linux printer works... with Linux software.
But... the windows software... only letters..

i have installed a PDF printer to see if its a Wine fault or the Canon driver..

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cups-pdf

Windows detects the PDF printer but does not detect: Print-to-PDF.

What do you mean by "only letters"?

Windows detects the PDF printer but does not detect: Print-to-PDF.

I don't understand what you mean by this, either. Is cups-pdf showing up in the list of printers in the print dialog of apps running in Wine? If so, what is the problem? If not, then exactly what is happening?

after configuration:
http://localhost:631/admin

The PDF printer works OK,...
output directory is: ~/PDF

The paperbak print file should contain a barcoded signal... and letters (header&footer)
but only contains Letters* & blank space.

We can't see files that are on your computer.

So text prints, but graphics don't? Post terminal output.

Also, what version of Wine are you using? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.
