[Bug 375763] Re: Printer won't print although Ubuntu says that job is completed, also driver won't update
Hi there,
I had the exact same problem until I realized doing the following fixed my problem:
- Go to 'Image Quality' tab, or click on 'Properties' then go to 'Image Quality' tab
- Try different resolutions then click 'Print'
In my case, changing 'HQ1200' to '600dpi' fixed the problem. Of course I had to print the document using lower quality, but 600dpi was good enough.

Title:
Printer won't print although Ubuntu says that job is completed, also
driver won't update
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
I have canon LBP3000 laser printer. I have downloaded both versions of driver from canon, version 1.6 and 1.8, and followed step by step instructions. I also checked all over the net for the solution, but found none.
My printer is identified, and status is fine, just it wont print. This is in detail what happens, and the steps I followed.
First I made sure that I have removed printer's spooler:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -x LBP5000
Then, I installed these provided packages:
# dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_1.80-1_i386.deb
# dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_1.80-1_i386.deb
I checked for driver version by:
# dpkg -l | grep cndrvcups
and it was fine, 1.80
Then I restarted cups and registered:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3000 -m CNCUPSLBP3000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3000 -o /dev/usb/lp0
And started daemon:
# /etc/init.d/ccpd start
In system/preferences/default printer my printer is set as default
In system/administration/printing there is LBP3000 with green check
I click on properties and I noticed that for driver it says 1.5
version. That was odd, but I tried nonetheless. I did print page, it
said completed, but no printing occurred. I then tried to changeMake
and Model by clicking on the button to the right and chosing the right
ppt file, since from select from database was only that 1.5 version
driver that probably came with Ubuntu. I am using 9.04, so its a bit
odd that it has driver so old.
In previous steps you noticed that in fifo0 I registered my ppt, and
fifo0 is chosen, but still that 1.5 version, and printer wont print
anything although status says everything is fine and printing jobs
compleated.
It took me hours and hours working on this, but still no solution.
