Does anyone have this kind of printer??
Cups adds this printer, but when i start printing the printer's led blinks just for a few seconds, and then nothing happens.

I also plan to buy this model.
Gentoo Wiki says ip 2500 works on cnijfilter-2.70 driver provided by canon,
because ip 2500 have same print head as PIXUS iP3300 / PIXUS iP4300 / PIXUS iP90 / PIXUS iP90v / PIXUS MP510 / PIXUS MP600 that Canon support on Linux.
You can download the driver from [www.canon-sales.co.jp]

If you have the printer work, could you comment on this thread as I'll be able to buy same model:-) ?

Gentoo wiki URL that I mentioned is [gentoo-wiki.com]

Ooops. After some googling, there are manual for ip2500 on URL
[www.manualnguide.com]
You can download manual.
These manuals install also install cnijfilter-ip2500series-2.70-x.i386.rpm under Fedora Core 6 and openSUSE 10.2.

You can download cnijfilter-ip2500series-2.70-x.i386.rpm from
[software.canon-europe.com]

Could you tell me Japanese displayed correctly under this driver?

IP 2500 worked well even in Japanese.

I have used cnijfilter-ip2500series-2.70-x.i386.rpm with cups. Cups add the printer reading the ppd file installed, but it doesn't work...I have only this message:
STS:USB IP2500 00 UFVFB 100 E 070 YE

I'm on debian system, so i have used alien to convert .rpm to .deb

You need cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm at first.
You can download from hrere [software.canon-europe.com] .

This cnijfilter-common-2.70-1.i386.rpm include packages below.
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnij_usb
/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij
/usr/local/bin/cngpij
/usr/share/doc/cnijfilter-common-2.70
/usr/share/doc/cnijfilter-common-2.70/LICENSE-cnijfilter-2.70E.txt
/usr/share/doc/cnijfilter-common-2.70/LICENSE-cnijfilter-2.70J.txt

Then you can install cnijfilter-ip2500series-2.70-x.i386.rpm.

After installed these packages, execute lpadmin command.
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p IP2500 -m canonip2500.ppd -v cnij_usb:/dev/usb/lp0

I assume you need cnij_usb, pstocanonij, and canonip2500.ppd basically if you print via lp or lpr commands.
I'd failed lpadmin with -v option as "usb:/" that have to be "cnij_usb:/".
And maybe log files helps with debug level 2 that can be configured in cupsd.conf like "LogLevel debug2."

I'm not quite sure about debian tought, there's some ubuntsu sites describing canon driver.
[www.erlandertervueren.com]

OK..the printer work fine!
I did two things:
1) apt has update cups server to 1.3.2-1+lenny1
2) In the guide for ubuntu is described create symbolic links to libraries, I had not entered the first one

Which one is the solution? I think the second...

Thank's a lot!!!

I recently followed instructions on that post but when I install the ip2500 in cups on Debian I get:
"Filter "pstocanonij" for printer "canon_ip2500" not available: No such file or directory"

When I look in cnijfilter-common_2.70-3_i386.deb made from the .rpm I get:
keynux:/home/kmc/documents/system/canon_ip2500# dpkg -c cnijfilter-common_2.70-3_i386.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-11-26 01:34 ./

-rw-rw-r-- root/root 17034 2007-08-23 06:00 ./cnijfilter-common.spec

It seems there's no "pstocanonij" there. What's wrong ?

In the attachment you'll find the .deb that i used.

However, you must move manually the pstocanonij in this directory: /usr/lib/cups/filter/

Thanks Skino, you saved me !!! (and my printer whitch were very near the trash)

Install of your deb did not work cause of missing of obsolete lib on my system.(Linux version 2.6.21-2-686 (Debian 2.6.21-6) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070629 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-13)))

But extracting your pstocanonij from your cnijfilter-common_2.70-1_i386.deb and use it with my cnijfilter-common_2.70-3_i386.deb did work !!!!!!!

Hope this will help some others.

I am going to buy an ASUS EEpc 701 4g, (the mini pc) and wanted to know if the portable canon printer will execute with the LINUX system? Thanks!

I have an HP Pavilion 2G dual core, using Ubuntu 9.10 with Canon Pixma iP90.
Since 9.10 upgrade I cannot use iP90. I have tried many approaches without success.
Can you please advise. Thank you.

I use with satisfaction the Canon BJC-8200 Foomatic included in all the distribution I tried. And the Canon Pixma iP90 works mostly well.

Hello speedyx.

I am trying to reinstall my canon ip90- I had it repaired (a new carriage) and now,
the LED is green and nothing is printing! I am searching for a driver for Linux.
Seems canon is now only supporting MS and Mac.

I will give this a try.

Thank you!!! BJC-8200 with foomatic...simplified 5.0 was a success!
Five hours, and able to print.

Sincerely,
Lori.
