CUPS backend for the Canon BJNP network printers
License: GNU General Public License v2.0
This is the BJNP protocol backend for CUPS It works with cups 1.2 - 1.7 (verified) CUPS-BJNP can be compiled standalone (when the cups-devel package or your OS equivalent is installed, e.g. for Fedora install cups-devel). Cups-bjnp is included in a number of distributions so in most cases it is not necessary to compile it yourself. Compiling Cups-bjnp =================== Compiling CUPS-BJNP is as simple as: ./configure --prefix=/usr make In most cases configure will find the backend directory where cups stores its backends without help. If it does not, add the --with-cupsbackenddir=xxx option to the configure comand line to point configure in the right direction. Cups-bjnp works over IPv4 and IPv6 (since version 1.1) For a first test type: ./bjnp This should return the printers uri assuming that you are on the same subnet, the printer is on, and there is no firewall blocking tcp/udp port 8611 See notes on firewall setup below. For my MP970 bjnp returns: [louis@travel backend]$ ./bjnp network bjnp://printer-1.pheasant:0 "Canon MP970 series" "bjnp printer-1.pheasant" "MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe,NCCe,PLI;SOJ:TXT01,BJNP2;MDL:MP970 series;CLS: PRINTER;DES:Canon MP970 series;VER:1.110;STA:10;FSI:03;HRI:OTH;MSI:DAT,E3;" if this works, install the binary, as root type: make install. if you want to do this manually: copy (as root) bjnp into your cups backend directory. configure cups through the web frontend (https://localhost:631), e.g. try tab <administration> <find new printers> Ink level reporting =================== Cups-bjnp reports ink levels to CUPS during printing. Many GUI tools like the Gnome printer settings tools can show the current ink-levels and report warnings whwn ink levels get low. Debugging ========= If you have problems, you may want to set the debugging level. To debug printer detection you can set the environment variable BJNP_DEBUG export BJNP_DEBUG_LEVEL=DEBUG2 (for sh or bash) or setenv BJNP_DEBUG_LEVEL DEBUG2 (for csh or tcsh) The filename can be set by setting BJNP_DEBUG_FILE in similar way. To debug printing, you can add the debug level as part of the printer URI: DeviceURI bjnp://printer-1.pheasant:8611/?debuglevel=DEBUG2 or bnp:///printer-1.pheasant:8611/?debuglevel=DEBUG2+debugfile=./log to log to the file ./log. Normally this is not required as a logfile in the cups log directory is used when no name is defined. In both cases the debuglevel is set to one of the cups debuglevels (see cups documentation: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/man-filter.html) Debug information will be sent to the bjnp_log in your cups logging directory (e.g. /var/log/cups). Debug files will become big, so the file is truncated at the start of each printjob. If for whatever reason, opening of the logfile causes problems, you can force all debug output to be sent to the cups error_log by adding _toCups to the DeviceURI: DeviceURI bjnp://printer-1.pheasant:8611/?debuglevel=DEBUG2_toCups Firewalling =========== Cups-bjnp communicates with port 8611 on the printer. So you will have to allow traffic TO port 8611 for printing. Printer detection is slightly more complicated. (cups-bjnp sends a broadcast on all subnets it can find. The broadast is sent FROM port 8611 to port 8611. The outgoing packets will be allowed by the rule above. Responses from the printer are sent back to the computer TO port 8611. Connection tracking however does not see a match. You will therefore have to allow packets received TO port 8611 as well. [email protected]
