CUPS issues

[legoamruth]

Hello everyone,

I have a raspberry pi and I have set it up as a CUPS print server. It is an extremely slow printer when printing anything. If I print with my Mac through direct USB and it is fine. Looking into the issue, I found out that CUPS is using a "Gutenprint" driver. How can I improve my print speed. Same issue on scanning, but the scanner IS NOT EVEN FOUND.

Any suggestions would be really helpful..

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I am on the latest version of Raspbian and I have a Canon MP280. I tried Sane but that did not find it either.

Canon Pixma MP280 is supported by the Gutenprint Printer Driver and the XSane Scanner Software

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON

All I can suggest is

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install xsane cups-driver-gutenprint

I currently use the gutenprint driver and it takes 10-15 min per page to print... The xsane also does not detect the scanner
