How do I get a Canon ImageRunner Advance C2020i working?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3851 / 1 Year ago, sun, march 12, 2023, 10:13:52

Using the default driver in ubuntu 12.04 for the Canon ImageRunner Advance C2020i (or iR Adv C2020i) results in black and white only printing. Using the drivers on the canon website prints dummy text or doesn't do anything. I tried different drivers, models and URI (socket and lpd) and it did not resolve the problem.

The printer is hence unusable for color printing.

Using the default Ubuntu 12.04 driver for the C2550 works perfectly and does not require to install any other software or driver. Color printing works.
