1. Restrictions During Installation (Common to All Distributions)
If you uninstall the driver package with the cache file used for printing remaining in "/etc/cngplp2l", a warning is displayed because "/etc/cngplp2l" will not be deleted. The cache file does not need to be deleted. If you want to delete it, manually delete "/etc/cngplp2l."
If you use a printer with a USB connection, connect multiple printers to one computer, and register a print queue, you may not be able to print or acquire information correctly. This phenomenon can be avoided by having only one printer connected to one computer.
If you use a printer with a USB connection, connect one printer to one computer, and register multiple print queues, you may not be able to print or acquire information correctly. This phenomenon can be avoided by having only one queue registered when connected by USB.
If several printers are connected by USB to one computer, communication errors occur except for the first-launched status monitor.
After uninstalling a driver package, the cache files created during printing may not be deleted, with an alert instead being displayed. The cache files remaining do not create a problem, but can be deleted by manually deleting "/var/cache/Canon/CUPS_SFPR."
Remote printers may be displayed in the Canon Printer Setup Utility, depending on your environment. The remote printers that are displayed may also not be able to be deleted.
2. Restrictions During Installation (Distribution Specific)
In Fedora
Although a warning may be displayed saying that the yum command is being deprecated when you install the driver, upgrade the driver, or run the installer, installation is performed correctly and no problems will occur.
You may not be able to install the driver due to a lack of necessary libraries. If this is the case, installing the libraries by executing the following command.
# dnf install libglade2
In Ubuntu/Debian
You may not be able to install the driver due to a lack of necessary libraries. If this is the case, installing the libraries by executing the following command.
# apt-get install libglade2-0
In CentOS
You may not be able to install the driver due to a lack of necessary libraries. If this is the case, installing the libraries by executing the following command.
# yum install libglade2
In Debian
Downloading of the necessary libraries may fail and you may not be able to install the driver. If this happens, with super user privileges, edit and save the download destination list (/etc/apt/sources.list) for the operating system package as follows.
Add the following mirror redirector service URL as the download destination:
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian [operating system version codename] main
Example (Debian 9.0): deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main
Add "#" as follows to the beginning of the line "deb cdrom: ..." specifying CD/DVD as the download destination to cancel the specification:
# deb cdrom: ...
3. Restrictions During Printing (Common to All Distributions)
Applications may not be able to be started with administrator privileges, depending on your environment. In this case, execute the following command to start an application.
$ xhost +SI:localuser:root
The maximum number of files that can be held in the print queue when printing is 500 according to CUPS specifications. Files queued after the 500th file will be ignored.
When specifying multiple pages/copies for [Page Layout] in the [General] sheet to print a document created with StarSuite7/OpenOffice, due to a cause of operation by the CUPS module, settings are not correctly assigned to the multiple pages and output.
PostScript files created with the number of copies specified in OpenOffice.org or StarSuite are affected not by the value specified by [Copies] in the [cngplp2l] screen (the driver UI), but by the number of copies set when creating the PostScript file.
If you specify paper source settings in the print screen of an application such as Writer of OpenOffice.org, the settings made from the application are overridden by the printer driver UI settings. To print from the desired paper source, specify the paper source from the printer driver UI beforehand, or print from the command line.
If you are printing a TIFF or JPEG image from the driver UI or command line, the image may be divided and printed across multiple pages. This problem can be solved by outputting the image as a PostScript file from an application such as GIMP, then printing the PostScript file from the driver UI or command line.
After setting an entry or text view value, if you finish by clicking the [X] button at the top right of the dialog box, the value is treated as a valid value in the same way as when you click the [OK] button. If you want to disable the set value, click the [Cancel] button.
If you specify a document name that exceeds 32 bytes when printing, the character string for the document name is deleted from the 33rd byte onward by the driver, and the document name displayed in the device will be a maximum of 32 bytes.
If you print a PDF image file from the [cngplp2l] screen or command line, the print result may be blacked out, depending on the image.
If you are using an environment in which you can use Adobe Reader 9, you can solve this problem by selecting [Let printer determine colors] or [Print As Image] in the [Advanced Print Setup] dialog box when printing.
When printing PDF files using Adobe Reader 8, there may be instances where some image data is not printed. This problem may be solved by printing using Adobe Reader 7 or 9, or setting level 3 in the PostScript options.
Depending on the CUPS version, use of "#" or "\" for lpoptions may not be printed correctly. Do not use these characters.
If you are using CUPS version 1.6.3 or earlier, data may not print correctly after the second time if the printer is automatically registered by connecting the computer and device via USB. This can be avoided by registering the printer again using the Canon Printer Setup Utility.
When you print a banner page, the specified number of banner page copies may be printed. Also, if another job is sent to the device while printing a banner page, the other job may be printed with priority between the banner page and the main text pages.
Brightness and gamma correction settings may not be reflected in the print result.
4. Restrictions During Printing (Distribution Specific)
In Fedora/Ubuntu/CentOS/Debian
If you are using a black and white printer, depending on the printer model, you may not be able to print if the JBIG-KIT library is not installed.
If this is the case, print after installing the library by executing the following command.
<Fedora>
# dnf install jbigkit-libs
<Ubuntu or Debian>
# apt-get install libjbig0
<CentOS>
# yum install jbigkit-libs
In Fedora
When you print character strings that include multi-byte characters, they may be printed with the spaces between characters in the relevant areas reduced. You can solve this problem by printing from a text editor such as gedit.
When you attempt to print 4-byte UTF-8 characters from the [cngplp2l] screen or a command line, the characters may not be printed. Also, when printing such characters from an app such as gedit, Firefox, etc., they may be illegible. These problems are caused by the system.
In Ubuntu
When you print text data that includes multi-byte character code from the [cngplp2l] screen or the command line, the print result may include incoherent characters or printing may fail. If this happens, the problem can be solved by printing from a text editor such as gedit.
5. Restrictions when Using the Status Monitor
If you are using a USB connection, and the status monitors for this driver and for the "CAPT Printer Driver" are launched at the same time, a communication error occurs for the status monitor of the "CAPT Printer Driver." To use the "CAPT Printer Driver", close the status monitor for this driver.
If you are using a USB connection, and printing with the "CAPT Printer Driver" while the status monitor for this driver is launched, the same job is printed several times. Close the status monitor for this driver before printing.
