i'm not surprised pacaur (and likely any aur helper) has problems building this. The reason for the versioned dependency on cndrvcups-common-lb is that a cndrvcups-lb version ONLY works with 1 specific cndrvcups-common-lb version . The correct way to build them goes like this : build new cndrvcups-common-lb remove old cndrvcups-lb version (if present on system) install new cndrcups-common-lb build & install new cndrvcups-lb version Easiest way to build this with pacaur : use 2 commands like this : pacaur -S cndrvcups-common-lb pacaur -S cndrvcups-lb

I've got no problem maintaing a PKGBUILD if it would be helpful. I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands, but it couldn't take a very large time investment to maintain a AUR package that never gets any upgrades. I'll take a look at that as soon as possible. Alright if I use this PKGBUILD and the current cndrvcups-common one as templates and post it as ufrii-2.1 and cndrvcups-common-2.1?

d33733t, i checked the drivers for MF8330Cdn , and it lists 3 versions : UFR II / UFR II LT 2.00, 2.10 and 2.20 / So it seems canon hasn't included all UFR II printers in the LB 2.40 package , so we need more then this package. I suggest you upload/maintain cndrvcommon-2.10 and the corresponding UFR II 2.10 pacakge.

Oh, and I'm not sure about the versions between 2.10 and 2.40. I'm hesitant to test the newer versions now that I've got the darn thing working again...someone else want to have a go? I'll do it if it's helpful and I'm the only one who's stepping up to the plate.

I apologize for not being more specific. I used the matching version of the cndrvcups-common package. 2.10 and 2.10. Nothing as bizarre as mismatched driver and support libraries. Just a simple downgrade to correct upstream bugs.

@ d33733t : to clarify, you used the cndrvcups-common 2.40 package with the 2.10 version of the ufr2 driver ? According to canon docs, the cndrvcups-common part needs to be the same version as that of the driver, did they mess up things so badly ?

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-06-30 06:17 (UTC)

I was able to fix the problem - I installed the 2.10 driver using the PKGBUILD here - just edited the md5sum and download location. Might need to alter file lists for best performance and minimal file thrashing - I only have one Canon driver installed on the affected machine, but the 2.10 driver works with the latest CUPS server version, as I'd expected. Again, I know that you did everything right - the fact that the PKGBUILD works with an older download proves that. Just a temporary regression that could cause some big issues for some important users. I'm sure I'm not the only business running this as our main printer (I may be the only one running this as the ONLY printer - what can I say? Printers are expensive.)

Lone_Wolf commented on 2012-06-29 22:20 (UTC)

unfortunately the older packages didn't work afaik, and after 2 users confirmed it worked for them (2 different printers, 1 on x86_64 , 1 on i686) i requested to merge/delete the older packages. So, the driver DID work not long ago. This suggests the canon driver 2.40 doesn't cooperate well with latest cups version. As i don't have a printer available that uses this driver, my options for testing are limited.

@Lone_Wolf: I second kenchin's assessment of the situation. Driver is broken by upstream; no errors are logged, print driver never communicates with printer in meaningful way, job is deleted shortly thereafter, with the computer completely unaware of any error. Running a D460, tested on both x86_64 and i686. I have followed the directions in the driver download (which, by the way, documents exactly the same method the CUPS web interface uses to add the printer, meaning that the directions really aren't as necessary as stated earlier) and the driver is still not working. Until I splice an old copy of upstream's driver into my system manually, I no longer have a printer. I'm sure your package is fine; the driver shows up and lists correctly, and the fact that no errors are being reported tells me it's probably an error in the code itself. Recommend this driver either be marked as broken to prevent others from installing it and thus losing their only way back, or old UFRII PKGBUILD be reuploaded to site until issue is resolved.

@Lone_Wolf: I followed the instuctions as you have outlined. Tried using LPD with queue name: lp, SPOOL, PASSTHRU, CANON-MF5870, CANON-MF5870dn, but still not able to print over the network. Tried adding the print via lpadmin as well as the CUPS web interface. The print job will be sent, then completed, but the printer remains idle and nothing gets printed. I also tried installing the .tar.gz unto another Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) box for testing, same issue there.

I'm having the exact same issues as kenchin, also on a MF series printer (MF8330Cdn). The printer status is displayed as "Idle - Ready to print", and as I send a job, it displays as processing then completed without errors (nothing in the logfile), while in actuality the printer does absolutely nothing. I've installed the printer drivers following the step-by-step command-line instructions from the manual, and from the CUPS web interface with several different PPDs. Nothing works. Printing from Windows, OSX, Debian, works without a hitch.
