CANON PIXMA IP2500 printer doesn't work

Postby GJJ » Feb 15th, '14, 16:07

After checking on the forum, I have not found any topic on this following issue.
Linux distrib is Mageia3 64 bits (x86-64)
1- I have installed driver for my CANON PIXMA iP2500 printer and I select on the list successively PIXMA iP2000 the PIXMA iP2700.
Both don't work and printer doen't do nothing.
The printer task is sent to printer and status indicates "finished" but nothing is printed whatever printing test or text file.

What is the way to install correctly driver for this printer on 64 bits machine ?

below some other unsuccessfull tries
-----------------------
2- Then looking on Internet, I tried to install other package like
27215.tgz proposed on CANON support
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/InkJet/PIXMA_iP_series/PIXMA_iP2500.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:13-742545&page=1&type=download where Mageia distrib is not mentionned (Fedora / OpenSuze)
=> failed
3- IJ Printer Driver Ver. 2.70 for Linux (rpm Package for iP2500 series) on http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0900718901.html
=> failed
4- I tried too to adapt solution proposed by Ubuntu forum using
Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V270_uk_EN dowloaded from http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100270808.html
and some advices on http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/comment_installer_pilotes_canon_ufr2#liste_des_imprimantes_supportees
=> failed
5-I tried other way by copying canonip2500.ppd file dowloaded from ??? in /usr/share/cups/model/
=> cups says "pstocanonij" not found in "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/"
I dowload "pstocanonij" from ??? and put it in "/usr/lib64/cups/filter/"
=> cups says "pstocanonij" not found in "/usr/lib/cups/filter/"
"Inactif - /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed"
---------------------------------

So I need some help to install the right driver in the correct way
thanks
