One reply from Brett Lymn, basically saying that Canon will not be able to do this.

Pretty close, Brett. I eventually tracked down THE person at Canon to talk to, and he gave me some interesting lpadmin options, basically creating an internal printer name which allowed us to send jobs to the GP335. So basic printing now works.

But as for printing to a particular paper tray, or changing the orientation, no luck. We were advised to swap the paper trays around to match where the output emerges. How this will affect the PC users who also print to this device, time will tell.

Thanks
Dennis

Original Post:

Hi all. Someone here has bought a Canon GP335 Digital Copier (printer / photocopier combination). There is no such thing as a jetadmin lookalike from Canon, but they assure me that a print queue can be created via Solaris (2.6) Well, yeah... the queue can be created easily enough through lpadmin commands, but any print jobs remain on the queue forever.

SparcStation 10 , Solaris 2.6 , I have tried to fudge both local and remote print queues, I have used the enable and accept commands, I am waiting for Canon to tell me the actual commands to use, to support their "yes it works" statement.

All of our HP printers are covered by jetadmin, and our Xerox Document Centres have software supplied by Xerox to manage unix printing. What's up with Canon? Any ideas, tips?
