Bug#641936: Canon Pixma MP210 does not work out of the box (MP220 driver works fine)
Package: foomatic-db-gutenprint
Version: 5.2.6-1
Tags: upstream
Affects: cups
Hi,
Typical amd64 squeeze system. I have a Canon MP210 scanner/printer.
The scanning support works great out of the box, and the printing
works well, too.
However, the initial setup required some digging online to find the
right driver. In system-config-printer, choosing Add Printer didn't
bring up the right driver right away, and in fact the driver that
works for me calls itself model MULTIPASS-MP220, driver "Canon
MULTIPASS-MP220 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2 [en]
(recommended)". Would it be possible to add an alias with some name
like "MULTIPASS-MP210" or "Pixma MP210"?
Reporting to the foomatic-db-gutenprint package since it seems that
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/driver/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2.xml
lists the driver used. Please feel free to reassign as appropriate,
and if there's any information I can provide to help, just ask.
Regards,
Jonathan
