Hi ewige,

let me tell you that, two weeks after my last posting in this thread, colour-printing dissapeared again. :-/
BUT: I think since Kernel 3.16.x you (for printing) do not need drivers out of bchmnet's repo (at least for 6220). With drivers given by Ubuntu colour-printing works fine for me! (Only reason I added the repo again, is for scanning purposes.)

Maybe it is worth a try with kernel-versions from 3.16 on.

Hi bchemnet,

Many thanks for your time an help! Settings were correct. I know that from the fact, that colour printing is now working! (Haven't tried my other machines on Ubuntu 14.04 (and derivatives) but think, that the problem was caused by the OS - maybe the kernel.) I found out, when printing the scan of a thermopaper-bill. That looked, compared to the written characters (LibreOffice), very much like a composite of colours.

Anyway - problem is solved, although I can't give a solution how. (Sorry for all you searchers in the net. ;-))

Installation of the packages worked flawlessly now, but the Server seems to find no Scanner (although simple-scan does).
I've attached the logfile. Maybe you can interpret the problem.

Edit: And ... sorry, that I started this thread in the wrong Forum.

New driver but no colour, only "fifty shades of Gray". Painful!
Any other ideas?

Thanks for your work and help!

Hi,

a new problem has been detected (didn't know, because it was not needed ;-))

I am not able to print in colour! :-(
System(s): Ubuntu (Unity) 14.04 32bit-flavor on a Lenovo X220 (same problem on other hardware like a Dell Latitude E4200 & E4300) and a CLX-6220FX over LAN with the bchemnet-Repositories installed.

Tried various drivers for my 6220 (4.01.17 and 3.00.65) with and without "configurator". All kinds of available setting. (Enough toner on board :-))

Any ideas what I can try to have coloured printouts.
Thanks,
BB

Hi to all forum-members,

I am new an hope, to meet the "requirements" for a good posting in this forum. :-)
First to system(s): Using Ubuntu (Unity) 14.04 32bit-flavor on a Lenovo X220 and a CLX-6220FX over LAN with the bchemnet-Repositories installed the printer works fine in a wide range of functionality.
As "basic-drivers" I installed:
- suld-ppd-3
- suld-driver2-common-1
- suld-driver2-1.00.06

So far so good.

As I tried to set up the "scan to pc-function" of my 6220, I installed the packages
- suld-scantopc
- suld-scantopc-gui

And then the following problems within the installation with synaptic occur:

With that result I get a "broken" icon in the Unity-panel which shows the respective menu, but trying to i.e. restart the server I get as feedback:
cannot be restarted
Networkscanner not available
(the device - my 6220 is "up and running")

As additional information I attach the LogFile.

I use Ubuntu (and derivatives) since 2008 and think, that I am not a "noob". But I do not get enough of a clue, how to overcome that. Can anyone help, or has/had the same problem (and hopefully a solution to it)?
