It turns out the instructions from canon weren't complete enough, the problem seemed to be in the haldaemon, which must be stopped for the installation to work properly. I was able to get the printer to work though! Thank you for the links, but I couldn't apply them to my fedora (dependencies are different). Has anyone been able to make canon lbp printers work on 64-bit linux? I tried it on ubuntu and it also didn't work. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.

If I try to print a Self-Test Page I get an error: I can see the printer in the Printing window, when I open its properties and try to print a test page it is submitted to the jobs list with the status 'Procesing' and nothing happens after that (it doesn't print). # /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3250 -o /dev/usb/lp0 # /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3250 -m CNCUPSLBP3250CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 –E These are the commands I used (per the instructions):

I installed the driver after downloading it from canon website and compiling it myself for 64-bit.īefore I installed it followed the instructions in the readme file (added the '/etc/init.d/ccpd start' command to the /etc/rc.local file and installed compat-libstdc++-33.)
