Notes on installing Canon Laser Shot LBP-1120 on Debian sarge

## # # # Searching on all the web's of canon I arived to this ftp: ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/lasershot/linux/ # There I found a recent version of the driver's for linux. # This version is newer than the one you can found in all the canon web's :). (now is 20/06/05). # # Well, I download cndrvcups-capt-1.10-1.i386.rpm and cndrvcups-common-1.10-1.i386.rpm.... # # Then..... # first convert the rpm's to deb's alien -d cndrvcups-capt-1.10-1.i386.rpm alien -d cndrvcups-common-1.10-1.i386.rpm # then install dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_1.10-2_i386.deb dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_1.10-2_i386.deb # then follow this step from the docs/guide /etc/init.d/cupsys restart /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTJ.PPD # here is the "big" tip, I take this from the SPEC file of the rpm: # Now run this command's: mkdir /var/ccpd mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo0 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo1 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo2 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo3 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo4 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo5 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo6 mkfifo -m 600 /var/ccpd/fifo7 chown lp.lp /var/ccpd/* # continue with the guide step's /etc/init.d/cupsys restart /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1120 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTJ.PPD -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP1120 -o /dev/usb/lp0 #now edit ccpd, I add in the second line: "ccpd; exit;" # this is only a quick hack :) vi /etc/init.d/ccpd /etc/init.d/ccpd start #by fede nuñez artigas - fna at internet.com.uy
