- 4. Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions -------------------------------------
- - Ghostscript which includes common API is required to use this printer driver.
- Make sure to install Ghostscript before installing this printer driver.
- Refer to the following URL to find out how to get Ghostscript.
- http://opfc.sourceforge.jp/index.html.en
- - If you install "cndrvcups-common" package version 2.00, make sure you install
- the same version of the "cndrvcups-ufr2" package, i.e. 2.00.
- - Update install is not available when you update to the version 1.40 or later,
- as the file names are not consistent with the older versions. If you have
- older version on your computer, you have to uninstall the older driver then
- install the new driver.
- - If more than two drivers are installed using the LIPSLX, UFRII(US), and UFRII
- (UK) driver install packages, and only one of these drivers is updated, an
- error will occur.
- This problem can be solved by updating all of the installed drivers together.
- - When specifying multiple pages/copies for [Page Layout] in the [General]
- sheet to print a document created with StarSuite7/OpenOffice, due to a cause
- of operation by the CUPS module, settings are not correctly assigned to the
- multiple pages and output.
- - PostScript files created with the number of copies specified in OpenOffice.org
- or StarSuite are affected not by the value specified by [Number of copies] in
- the [cngplp] dialog box (the driver UI), but by the number of copies set when
- creating the PostScript file.
- - If settings are changed from the driver UI, during print processing, the
- printed result will reflect the changed settings.
- - If [Brightness and Gamma] is specified in the [General] sheet from an
- application such as OpenOffice.org, GIMP, or Acrobat Reader v.5.0, the settings
- will be invalid.
- - If you set [Filter] to [HP-GL/2 options] in the [Filter] sheet of the printer
- driver UI, due to a cause of operation by the CUPS module, the [Pen width]
- setting is invalid.
- - You cannot print a PDF document by directly specifying it from the desktop or
- command line. When printing a PDF document, it is recommended that you print
- it from Acrobat Reader or Adobe Reader.
- - The maximum number of files that can be held in the print queue when printing
- is 500 according to CUPS specifications. Files queued after the 500th file will
- be ignored.
- - If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, the driver UI may display
- unintelligible characters. You can solve this problem using the following
- method.
- 1) Log in as 'root'.
- 2) Execute the following command to change the GTK+ environment settings.
- # cd /etc/
- # ln -s opt/gnome/gtk ./
- - If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, a warning may occur when you
- activate the driver UI. You can solve this problem using the following
- method.
- 1) Open [K Menu] -> [Control Center].
- 2) Select [Appearance & Themes].
- 3) Select [Colors].
- 4) Deselect [Apply colors to non-KDE applications].
- 5) Close [Control Center].
- - When printing from OpenOffice.org, some finishing functions such as [Rotate]
- may not operate correctly if you specify multiple copies for [Number of
- copies] in the driver UI.
- - If you are using SUSE Linux 9.3 or SUSE Linux 10.0, and are printing from the
- [Print] dialog box of Mozilla or FireFox, because the multiple copies setting
- is not enabled, you can print only one copy regardless of how many copies you
- have specified. This problem can be solved by changing the following line in
- the file "/etc/cups/mime.convs".
- [Before change]
- application/mozilla-ps application/postscript 33 pswrite
- [After change]
- application/mozilla-ps application/postscript 33 pstops
- - If you are using Fedora Core 5 or later, when SELinux is set to Enforcing
- or Permissive, you cannot print with the default settings. You can enable
- printing by changing the settings as follows.
- 1) Open System menu ->[Administration] ->[Security Level and Firewall].
- 2) Select [SELinux]tab ->[Modify SELinux Policy] ->[Printing].
- 3) Check the 4 check boxes under [Printing].
- 4) Click [OK] to close the window.
- - If you are using Fedora 7 or later, and if SELinux is set to Enforce, you need
- to install a policy package using the following method. (You do not need to
- install a policy package if Permissive is specified.)
- <Preparation>
- 1) Install the printer driver package, then specify the settings for the
- printer.
- * Please see the online manual about the install method and the setting
- method.
- 2) Check if the checkpolicy package is installed.
- # rpm -qa | grep checkpolicy
- If the package name is not displayed, install the package using the
- following command.
- # yum install checkpolicy
- 3) Set SELinux to Enforcing.
- 1. From the menu bar, select [System] - [Administration] - [SELinux
- Management].
- 2. In the dialog box, set [System Default Enforcing Mode] to [Enforcing],
- and then click [OK].
- 4) Restart Linux.
- <Creating and installing a policy package>
- 1) Set SELinux to Permissive.
- # /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
- 2) Print to the object printer.
- Example: Printing the CUPS text document to LBPxxxx
- # lpr -P LBPxxxx /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps
- 3) Create a policy package.
- # audit2allow -M cncapt -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log
- 4) Install the policy package.
- # /usr/sbin/semodule -i cncapt.pp
- 5) Restart Linux.
- - When performing banner printing in Fedora 8 or Fedora 9, if you specify a
- setting other than [none] for [End] under [Banner] in the [General] sheet,
- the print queue will stop.
- - If you attempt to print from a Color iR printer using this driver in a Fedora 9
- 64-bit system environment, printing results may not be satisfactory.
- This is because when the Fedora 9 64-bit packages are installed by the standard
- installation method, the 32-bit JPEG library is not installed.
- This problem can be solved by installing the package as an additional
- installation.
- Execute the following command.
- # yum install libjpeg.i386
- - To install the common module in the 64-bit version of Fedora 10 or Fedora 11,
- you need the 32-bit version glibc library.
- You can install the glibc library by executing the following command:
- # yum install glibc.i386
- Also, printer drivers from version 1.90 onward require the the 32-bit version
- of the xml2 library.
- You can enable printing by executing the following command:
- # yum install libxml2.i386
- - If you are using Fedora 10, specifying [Pretty Print] in the text file printing
- options of the [Filter] sheet does not affect the print result.
- - If you are using Fedora 11 and print with the print queue stopped after
- canceling a job, the job is suspended. In this case, click the [Maintenance]
- button in Printers in the CUPSWeb interface and select [Resume Printer] to
- perform the [pending since] job again.
- If you cannot find the [Maintenance] button, you can select [Resume Printer]
- by selecting [Pause Printer].
- - If you are using OpenSUSE 10.2 or SLED10SP1, which includes Ghostscript
- version 8.15.3, you may not be able to print some documents. To solve this
- problem, install another version of Ghostscript.
- - If you are using OpenSUSE 11.0 with Ghostscript version 8.6.x, printing from
- Evince, GIMP, or other applications may take time.
- - Although Okular is the standard document viewer in the OpenSUSE 11.1 KDE
- environment, the printer driver functions do not operate correctly with it.
- You can solve this problem by using another application such as Acrobat
- Reader etc.
- - If you are using Ubuntu 7.04/7.10/8.04/8.10/9.04 or Debian 3.1/4.0/5.0,
- the libcupsys2 library is required to install the common module.
- You can install the libcupsys2 library by executing the following command.
- # apt-get install libcupsys2
- - If you are using Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 9.04, the printer will print with
- the default paper output method, regardless of whether you have specified
- the paper output method.
- This problem can be solved by changing the output paper method setting from
- the CUPS printer settings (Web).
- - If you are using Ubuntu 8.10, specifying reverse order for printing does not
- affect the print result.
- This problem can be solved by updating CUPS.
- - If you are using Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 9.04, when printing PDF data or PS data,
- brightness and gamma correction settings do not affect the print result.
- - If you are using Adobe Reader 7.0.x, and modify such settings as Paper Size,
- Paper Source, Duplex Printing, etc. in the print dialog window, these options
- are automatically added to the printer command. However, these settings will
- not work because they cannot be recognized as command options. To solve this
- problem, use "-o" to separate each command options.
- [before] -o InputSlot=Manual,Duplex=DuplexNotumble
- [after] -o InputSlot=Manual -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble
- - When printing PDF files using Adobe Reader 8, there may be instances where
- some image data is not printed.
- This problem may be solved by printing using Adobe Reader 7 or setting Level 3
- in the PostScript options.
- - When performing 2-sided printing with Adobe Reader 8.1.2, if you specify
- [ON (Short-edged Binding)] for [Duplex Printing] in the print properties for
- Adobe Reader 8.1.2, the document will be printed on both sides with long-edged
- binding.
- This problem can be avoided by printing the document using the cngplp command
- from the command line.
- - If you are using Vine Linux 3.1, you may take time to print from Adobe Reader
- 7.0.9 or may not be able to print some documents.
- - When printing PDF files containing Japanese characters from the command line
- in Vine Linux 4.1, there may be instances where Ghostscript terminates
- unexpectedly, causing printing to stop.
- This problem can be avoided by printing PDF files using Adobe Reader.
- - When printing PDF files from Adobe Reader 8 in Vine Linux 4.1, there may be
- instances where Ghostscript terminates unexpectedly, causing the print queue
- to stop.
- This is caused by Ghostscript (7.07) not being able to analyze PS files
- created by Adobe Reader 8, and consequently terminating prematurely, thereby
- stopping the filtering process.
- This problem can be avoided by using Adobe Reader 7.
- - When printing text files in landscape orientation in Vine Linux 4.1, Vine Linux
- 4.2, Fedora 8, Fedora 9, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.5, there may be instances
- where the text file is printed in portrait orientation with some of the print
- data not being printed on the page.
- This is caused by the CUPS filter employed by the distribution you are using
- creating a PS command that is already set to portrait.
- Also, some of the functions provided in the CUPS standard filter "texttops"
- may not operate correctly.
- This problem can be avoided by changing the CUPS filter name specified in
- the "text/plain" entry line in the CUPS setting file "mime.convs" to the CUPS
- standard filter "texttops". This will result in Japanese characters being
- misprinted, therefore when printing Japanese characters, it is necessary to
- print a PS command created with a text editor or text/PostScript conversion
- program such as paps.
- - If you are using Vine Linux 4.2, the [Filter] - [Text file options] settings
- in the [Filter] sheet may not be applied in the resulting printout.
- Also, some of the functions provided in the CUPS standard filter "texttops"
- may not operate correctly.
- This problem can be avoided by changing the CUPS filter name specified in
- the "text/plain" entry line in the CUPS setting file "mime.convs" to the CUPS
- standard filter "texttops". This will result in Japanese characters being
- misprinted, therefore when printing Japanese characters, it is necessary to
- print a PS command created with a text editor or text/PostScript conversion
- program such as paps.
- - If you specify Paper Source settings in the print dialog of an application
- such as Writer of OpenOffice.org, the settings made from the application are
- overridden by the printer driver UI settings. To print from the desired
- Paper Source, specify the Paper Source from the printer driver UI beforehand,
- or print from the command line.
- - If you are using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, a PPD file error may occur when you
- register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler. To solve this problem,
- use "-P (full path to the ppd)" instead of "-m" when you specify the ppd
- using the command line.
- Example: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p iRC5180
- -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSIRC5180ZK.ppd
- -v lpd://192.168.1.10/iRC5180 -E
- - If you are using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, you may take time to print from Evince
- or may not be able to print some documents. To solve this problem, print the
- document from other application.
- - If you are using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r6, and attempt to print a text file
- using the cngplp command when EUC-JP is set as the locale, printing will fail.
- This problem can be solved by printing a PS command created with a text editor
- or text/Postscript conversion program such as paps.
- - If you are using Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.2, the gs-esp module is required to
- install the common module.
- You can install the gs-esp module by executing the following command.
- # apt-get install gs-esp
- - Depending on the distribution you are using, when you register the USB printer
- with the print spooler specifying /dev/usb/lp* as [Device URI], printing may
- fail with an error "Printer not Connected" displayed. To solve this problem,
- specify the printer specific name as [Device URI] that is displayed by using
- the following command.
- Example) When you use MF4600 Series
- 1) Display the [Device URI]
- # /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
- direct usb://Canon/MF4600%20Series%20(FAX)
- direct usb://Canon/MF4600%20Series%20(PCL5e)
- direct usb://Canon/MF4600%20Series%20(PCL6)
- direct usb://Canon/MF4600%20Series%20(UFRII%20LT)
- 2) Register the printer
- #lpadmin -p MF4600_USB -m CNCUPSMF4600ZK.ppd
- -v usb://Canon/MF4600%20Series%20(UFRII%20LT) -E
- - When printing PDF files from Adobe Reader in Mandriva, regardless of the
- version being used, there may be instances where Ghostscript terminates
- unexpectedly, causing the print queue to stop.
- This is caused by Ghostscript (8.60) not being able to analyze PS commands
- created using PS files for which security settings have been specified, and
- consequently terminating prematurely, thereby stopping the filtering process.
- This problem can be avoided by not printing PDF files that have security
- settings using Adobe Reader.
- - If you are using Mandriva One 2008 Spring or Mandriva 2008 PowerPack with CUPS
- version 1.3.6, unintended print results may occur even when printing with
- standard CUPS print functions.
- This problem can be solved by updating CUPS.
- - If your version of Ghostscript is 8.6.x, you may not be able to print some
- documents.
- - There may be instances where MF4270, or L90/L160/L230 printers, depending on
- the environment and type of print data, cannot print due to a printer data
- error at the device end.
- This is caused by a time out error occurring at the device end.
- This problem can be avoided by turning the error time out setting off at the
- device.
- - If the Finisher Q3 or Saddle Finisher Q4 is attached and you specify A4,
- Letter, or Legal as the page size, the document is not printed correctly when
- you attempt to print with [Binding Location] set to [Short Edge (Top)] and
- [Staple Position] set to [Top (Double)], or [Binding Location] set to
- [Short Edge (Bottom)] and [Staple Position] set to [Bottom (Double)], in
- the [Finishing] sheet.
- - If you are using the iR C1021/C1021i, MF8400 Series, MF9100 Series, or
- MF9300 Series, although IPv6 can be set from the control panel of the printer,
- only IPv4 supports network connections.
- - If you are using CentOS 5.3, you cannot print the number of copies as you
- specified in Evince.
- You can solve this problem by printing from other PDF viewers such as
- Adobe Reader or using the following methods.
- 1) Set the number of copies to 1 and select a PS command for the output
- destination in Evince to output a file.
- 2) Print the PS command output as a file after specifying the number of
- copies in cngplp.
- - If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 and update the CUPS version to
- "1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2", printing will fail due to improper PS data.
- You can avoid this problem by downgrading the CUPS version to
- "1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1".
- <Downgrading with the apt-get command>
- - Execute the following command.
- # apt-get install cups=1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1
- <Downloading the CUPS1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1 package and downgrading with the dpkg
- command>
- - Download the package (cups_1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1_i386.deb) from the Ubuntu
- website (http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/jaunty/i386/cups/download) using
- a Web browser etc., and then execute the following command.
- # dpkg -i cups_1.3.9-17ubuntu3.1_i386.deb
- - If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 or Fedora 11 and print banner pages, the
- specified number of banner pages are printed.
