TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hallo,

die neuen(?) netzwerkfähigen Multifunktions-Drucker von Canon benutzen m.W. nur noch das CNBJPN Protokoll.
Hat irgend jemand es schon geschafft, über dieses Protokoll zu drucken (unter Linux)?

Danke im Voraus

As I have not been able to find a solution on the internet, I have started development of a backend for CUPS that talks bjnp. I have a working demo available. I will post source code in a while. On http://fazant.net/cups you can find a very first version. It does require the cups source code, as it must be built within the cups source tree.

...and just for feedback:
The driver works!
Two glitches:
1. No feedback on ink fill
2. Slowerb than original Canon drivers (under Windows)

...und als Feedback:
Der Treiber funktioniert!
Zwei kleine Einschränkungen:
1. Kein Tintelfüllstand
2. Langsamer als der orig. Canon-Treiber (unter Windows)

This is not the backends fault. I have sent the people at Zedonet the code that will enable them to add the inklevel reading support to the turboprint utilities. They are planning to add it, although I do not know when

I am aware of that. I have rewritten a lot of the code.Please test the new version when I release it (still want to do some more cleanups)

cups-bjnp version 0.2 (beta) is released on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups-bjnp/?abmode=1
RPMs are avaialable there for X86_64 Fedora and Centos 5.
This code can be compiled without access to the CUPS sources. Only the cups development support is required (cups-devel packages on Redhat based systems)

@ llagendijk: Thank you very much, i appreciate your work!!!
