About This Driver

About This Driver

This driver is a Linux operating system printer driver that supports Canon devices. It uses CUPS (the Common
UNIX Printing System) for Linux operating systems.

Installing this driver enables you to print with built-in device functions from the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
settings screen and command line.

Printing from the Driver Settings Screen

You can execute a command and print from the displayed driver settings screen. You can also set the built-in
device functions.

6X0A-009

Printing from the Application Settings Screen

You can display the settings screen and print from the print menu of an application. The print functions that can
be congured differ according to the application.

NOTE

● Print functions that cannot be congured from the application can be used by changing the default settings

from the driver conguration screen or the command line.

Printing Using the Driver UI

When editing default settings and performing printing using the driver UI, use the following command.

Specifying default settings: $ cngplp2

This command enables you to set the various default printing attributes. They are effective until updated or
reset.

6X0A-010

NOTE

● Because this command executes only default print attribute settings, it uses only the [Save Settings]

and [Cancel] buttons on the UI.

Printing Using the UI Settings: $ cngplp2 -p [File Name]

This command enables you to print a target le, specifying the various print settings.

39

NOTE

Printing

● When you nish specifying the settings by clicking the [Print] button, those settings are available only

for the current print job.

● When you nish specifying the settings by clicking the [Print and Save Settings] button, the le is

printed with those settings, and they are saved as the default printing attributes.

● When you nish specifying the settings by clicking the [Cancel] button, the settings are not updated.

NOTE

● For details about print settings from the driver UI, refer to " Settings List(P. 56) ."

Printing from an Application

When printing from an application, edit the print settings in the print settings dialog box displayed by the
application. You can also set the various default printing attributes using the driver UI (see " Settings
List(P. 56) "). However, the settings from the application take priority over those from the driver UI.

Depending on the application you use, you may need to register the printer with the application beforehand. To
register the printer with OpenOce or GIMP, follow the procedures in this section.

Cautions When Printing a PostScript File From the Driver UI

If you print a PostScript le output from an application with the driver UI, the printed result may not be as
intended, depending on the settings used. If the result is not as intended, when outputting the PostScript le
from the application, use the default print settings.

Several examples of settings are given below, with expected results when the same setting is used in both the
application and the driver.

Setting Setting Content Expected Result

6X0A-018

[Page Layout] 4 pages per

sheet

[Print Range]-[Page Range] 1,3,5 If the document is 5 pages, only pages 1 and 3 are printed.

[Print Pages] Odd number

pages/Even
number pages

[Reverse Order] Reverse order is executed twice, resulting in the actual output

[Copies]* 2 In the case of a 10-page document, 40 pages (10 pages x 2 x 2)

NOTE

If you set multiple copies for the number of copies to be printed, depending on the application, a
PostScript le consisting of only part of the page data may be created. If this happens, even if you specify
multiple copies in both the application and the driver UI, only the number of copies specied in the
application will be printed.

Because [4 Pages per Sheet] is set and then printed as [4 Pages
per Sheet], the printed result resembles [16 Pages per Sheet].

If the document is 10 pages, only pages 1, 5, and 9 are printed.

order being normal.

are printed.

53

Printing

Printing from the Command Line

In the command line mode, various printer driver parameters can be specied from the command line without
using the GUI. If you want to print a le directly from the command line, use the following lpr command.

$ lpr -P [Printer Name] [File Name]

NOTE

● When printing is executed from a terminal interface command line, printing is performed immediately

without the settings window being displayed.

● Various printer options can be specied by combining keywords (e.g. "Duplex") and parameters

included in the PPD le for the relevant printer, as shown below, after the -o option. For details about
the keywords and parameters for printer options, see " Command List(P. 70) ."

$ lpr -P [Printer Name] [File Name] -o [Option]=[Parameter]

6X0A-019

Start the console.

1

The method for starting the console differs according to the operating system/distribution used.

Enter the lpr/lp command as follows.

2

E.g.: From the printer called iR105+, print the le sample.ps:

$ lpr -P iR105+ sample.ps

NOTE

● Specify printer options (option) and parameters (value) after -o (option) as "option name = value".

● If the printer name is omitted, the default printer will be used.

● Supported print options, parameters, and combinations thereof differ according to the type of printer

used.

● If no options are specied or there is an error in a specied option, the option is ignored and print

processing is executed using the default options and settings.
