I have the following
setup:
- Ubuntu Natty (11.04) server edition installed
- Printer Canon LBP5000 laserjet
- CUPS, using the web interface because I have no gui. Im operating the system by ssh via my network
My problem:
It just doesn't want to print, Im trying to print a test page but nothing is happing. After a while it gives me a error like
Can't connect to CCPD: Connection refused
Or
ccp send_data error, exit
My attempts:
-
I have followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190 . The command "ccpd status" gives me the correct output :
Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS: ccpd: 4171 4170

I have tried this script: http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-install-canon-lbp-printers-in-ubuntu/, same results
Can someone help me with this, cause Im really out of options.

I am using:
When I followed Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190 I got my printer working, but captstatusui (showing printer status in a GUI) gave a bufferoverflow.
When using script: http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-install-canon-lbp-printers-in-ubuntu printing and captstatusui worked perfectly, but after a while my Update Manager complained I had a partial finished install and removed the drivers again. Maybe something to do with not specifying a correct package repository?
Anyhow, I made a copy of the working captstatusui binary, let the update manager remove the drivers installed via the script of Radu Cotestcu. Now I have the drivers installed according the first Guide, and use them in combination with the copied version of captstatusui.
Maybe not that elegant, but it works for me
