Contents. Introduction The Ultra Fast Renderer (UFR) is a proprietary rendering engine that is functionally similar to PostScript and PCL. To allow for faster printing than either the PostScript or PCL drivers and is associated with Canon printers. A printer expecting to be provided with UFR II would have a file containing one of the lines.cupsFilter: 'application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 pstoufr2cpca' or.cupsFilter: 'application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 pstoncapcpca' pstoufr2cpca and pstoncapcpca are programs that convert PostScript data to the Canon UFR II printer command stream.
The PostScript is produced by a filtering chain and pstoufr2cpca or pstoncapcpca render it into a form suitable to be sent to the printer. Printers Supporting Canon UFR II/UFR II LT. The following Canon printer models and series are supported by the Canon UFR II driver version 2.90. LBP6030/LBP6040/LBP6018L, LBP6230/LBP6240, LBP7100C/LBP7110C, LBP8100 Obtaining the UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver The majority of Canon printers are handled by driver package version 3.60, which as a.tar.gz file after agreeing to the license conditions. The tarball contains Debian packages that can be used to set up the framework to print to a supported printer, source code and an installation script. There is also a available. A much smaller selection of drivers for UFR II LT printers via the version 1.5 package.
Although free software components are used in the driver and source code is available, the license terms make the tarball undistributable by Debian. Note that Canon do maintain the Linux drivers but provide no support for them. Extracting and Accessing the Files in the Printer Driver Tarball Let us deal with linux-UFRII-drv-v360-uken-02.tar.gz: tar zvxf linux-UFRII-drv-v360-uken-02.tar.gz extracts files to the directory linux-UFRIIdrvV360ukEN The directory contains Debian packages for 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
We will choose 32-bit and change to the directory holding the.deb files: cd LinuxUFRIIPrinterDriverV320ukEN/32-bitDriver/Debian Installation of the Printer Drivers: Method 1 dpkg and apt are always present on a Debian system. Within the Debian directory do dpkg -i cndrvcups-common4.00-1i386.deb cndrvcups-ufr2-uk3.60-1i386.deb cndrvcups-utility1.10-1+i386.deb to install these three packages.
If there are any dependency problems they can be resolved with apt -f install Now a print queue using your favoured technique. There are some additional PPDs in packages in linux-UFRII-drv-v360-uken/PPD/Debian.
These may also be installed with dpkg -i. Installation of the Printer Drivers: Method 2. Extract the 'LinuxUFRIIPrinterdriverV320usEN.tar.gz' file. Inside that file navigate to 'LinuxUFRIIPrinterdriverV320usEN' '64-bitDriver' 'Debian'. Right click on 'cndrvcups-common3.60-1amd64.deb' package. Select 'Open With GDebi Package Installer' option.
Click on 'Install Package'. When installation is finished click on 'Close' button. Close the 'Package Installer - cndrvups-common' window. Right click on 'cndrvcups-ufr2-us3.60-1amd64.deb' package.
Select 'Open With GDebi Package Installer' option. Click on 'Install Package'. When installation is finished click on 'Close' button. Close the 'Package Installer - cndrvups-ufr2-us' window. Note: To satisfy all dependencies it is important to first install 'cndrvcups-common3.60-1amd64.deb' then second install 'cndrvcups-ufr2-us3.60-1amd64.deb'. Install some extra dependencies. sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libxml2:i386 lib32z1 libjpeg62:i386 libstdc6:i386.
Note: These were found using this command dpkg -L cndrvcups-ufr2-uk cndrvcups-common xargs ldd 2/dev/null grep 'not found'. The ipp tag error (if present) can be fixed by installing python-cups from wheezy-backports. If not already done power on your printer. Ensure it's connected properly to your computer. Using your favourite internet browser such as IceWeasel go to. Click on 'Add Printer' button.
If the browser asks for your username and password enter your username and password (or root plus root's password). Under 'Local Printers' select the appropriate printer model. Click on 'Continue' button. On the next page leave default settings as is for 'Name', 'Description', 'Location'. Unless you know what you're doing. Click on 'Continue' button.
On the next page, under 'Model' the appropriate printer model should be automatically selected. If not select the appropriate model. Click on 'Add Printer' button. On the next page under 'General' section select your preferred settings. If unsure leave default settings. Click on 'Set Default Options'.
Wait up to 30 seconds. On the next page click on 'Maintenance' dropdown menu select 'Print Test Page' option. Wait up to 60 seconds. If successful the printer will print a test page.
If above is not working ensure your printer is not on hibernation or standby mode. That is it. You are done. Enjoy Installation of the Printer Drivers: Method 3 The driver package has a guide in its Documents section that has advice on installing the printer drivers.
There is also a bash script in the root of the package. Running bash install.sh leads you through the installation steps. Observation: If you have installed the package rpm (ex. Because you use alien) the script can fail to detect correctly your Debian OS. Installation of the Printer Driver on Amd64 Either method 2 or method 3 can be used. However the driver depends on i386 packages.
If the install.sh method is used, it informs you of the missing packages. They are also explicitly listed in install.sh. If you are using the method 3 you can install them manually as explained in the extra dependencies step. For installing i386 packages you should first add the architecture using dpkg -add-architecture i386 followed by apt-get update After this apt-get install:i386 can be used to install i386 packages. See for further information.
Good, that shows the UFR2 driver is installed. Are you sure you have the correct IP address for the iR2520? If you enter this IP address into a web browser you should connect to the internal web page of the copier. Does this happen? If the IP address is correct, open Printers and Scanners and click the plus button to add.
Select the IP icon and enter the IP address. Set the protocol to HP Jetdirect. Leave the Queue name blank. Change the Name to iR2520. Leave the Location blank. Then in the Use menu, click on 'Select printer software' and look for the Canon iR2520 in the Printer Software window.
When found, select it and click OK. Then click Add to complete the queue creation.

Can you see this file? Rohitbhumbla wrote: is there any way to manually select the software while adding printer No. You must add using the Printer Software window.

You cannot do it this way. The.dmg contains the UFR2 installer. There is no file (PPD) that is visible with the.dmg mounted. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
