I installed all possible packages I thought might be necessary for Canon BJC PIXMA MG2470, including cups, gimp-gutenprint and some more. I then followed the handbook to insert the lines for cups in devfs.conf (usb dev = 2.6.0) and rc.conf, and then restarted devfsd and cupsd. Upon opening the cups admin page, there was no Canon make available - although there were makes for HP and a few others. I chose 'generic-IPP-print-anywhere' and tried printing a text file. The printer blinked a few times but produced nothing in output. This is what I got from the log in the CUPS admin page : [cups-deviced] PID 2083 (dnssd) stopped with status 1! [Client 234] Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for Create-Printer-Subscriptions (/) from localhost I have no idea what the above lines mean. Maybe a ppd file is needed for my printer, but googling fails to get any suitable ppd file. Interestingly, gimp-gutenprint states that the printer is supported. So what could I be missing ? Thanks for any help. -- Regards, Manish Jain
