I haven't used Gutenprint in a long time so I am not entirely certain how CUPS should behave when using the Gutenprint CUPS driver. My USB printer does not support IPP, it has no direct network connection capability. Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).' 'CUPS printer drivers and backends are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. The CUPS man page for lpinfo has a note that made me wonder if Gutenprint works with CUPS anymore: ![]() usr/local/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.3/C/stp-bjc-PIXMA-iX4000.5.3.ppd.gzįrom the console, lpinfo finds the printer The Gutenprint PPD for the iX4000 is present on the system. but when I click continue again, CUPS fails to find any printer drivers. ![]() When I select it and continue to the next configuration dialog, CUPS reports that the printer is connected as usb://Canon/iX4000?serial=91. CUPS successfully detects the iX4000 as a Local Printer. I can access CUPS Administration and start the 'Add Printer' process. I have installed Gutenprint using the FreeBSD package on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 and configured CUPS following the instructions in the FreeBSD handbook. Canon do not support this printer on any operating systems other than Mac or Windows but Gutenprint supports it. I am trying to get a FreeBSD system to print to a Canon PIXMA iX4000 printer that is connected by USB. With PowerRIP X version 10 you obtain a 20% to 30% greater color gamut volume on fine art papers, like UltraSmooth Fine Art and Velvet Fine Art. Very important for Gilcee print making and fine art reproduction. On Epson's Photo Quality Inkjet paper, PowerRIP X actually has a 50% greater color gamut, than with our competitors' software RIP. This enables you to make a better low cost proof, that is more accurate.Ĭontract Proofing benefits also. ![]() A greater 'Color Gamut Volume' means a better match to named spot colors, like Pantone ®. Photographers easily obtain 10% to 15% more colors on glossy/semigloss papers. Of course with the price of paper and ink these days, you want to get the best color reproduction possible for your money, which is only possible right now with PowerRIP X. Compare PowerRIP output to other RIPs on the same printer and see for yourself. Below are comparisons of color gamut on the Stylus 4880. The latest version of FilmMaker provides the best quality and value in the inkjet film separation RIP software category. However, pseudo printing is not real world printing. Matt and Robert, A long and frustrating week end of trying every iteration I could think of, to no avail. The length limitation of 36" with 24"wide paper, and 54" with 36" paper is being triggered by which width of paper is loaded. If I have 36" paper and tell the print job the paper dimension is 24" x 60" it stops printing at 53" and leaves a 1" margin, total length 54". Likewise if I tell it a paper dimension of 36" x 60" and I have 24" paper loaded, it prints to 35" plus a 1" margin. All of these attempts were tried using both 5.0.0 and 5.2.6 and with Dither Algorithm set to "Very Fast". Per Matt's testing, I believe that all of the print lines are being sent to the printer, hence with 36" paper, a 24"wide job will run out to 53" instead of only 35" when the 24" paper is loaded. ![]() If there are any tests I can run for you I would be delighted to do that and send you the results. The only caveat is that you need to give me Bone Head directions as I am obviously not a programmer or technician. Thanks again to both of you for all of the help. Even if I am not getting this fixed your encouragement is causing me to quantify the current limitations.
