setting up LBP1210 in Redhat FC8

Had a nightmare in getting my canon LBP1210 laser printer work with
cups in Fedora Core 8 -

Download the printer driver in following site-
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000525.asp

When using printer driver, Please check out followings -

1) SELinux mode

If SELinux is set to Enforce, Please try SELinux set to Permissive.
If you'ld like to use SELinux in Enforce mode, Please make the policy
package and install it.
There is the method of making a policy package in README-capt-1.6xE.txt.
(/usr/share/doc/cndrvcups-capt-1.60/README-capt-1.6xE.txt)

2) Register the printer entry

If the HAL daemon runs on Fedora Core, and if the printer entry is made
automaticaly, please register the printer entry again using the
following method.

(Please power on the printer and the USB cable connect to the PC.)

# /etc/init.d/ccpd stop

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x LASER_SHOT_LBP-1210
[the above line is not needed. Without that worked fine, but after
installing driver rpm just reboot the PC, also
#cngplp
to setup page size and save changes. thats all I did pretty much, I
have tried with changing toner density as well to save ink, that
worked too.]


# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1210 -m CNCUPSLBP1210CAPTK.ppd -v
ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
# /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP1210 -o /dev/usb/lp0

# /etc/init.d/ccpd start

That should work!

Troubleshoots- cups doesnt start ccpd -
So heres the solution -
start cups and then start ccpd manually -
/etc/init.d/cups start
Try printing a doc - (ctrl+p)
/etc/init.d/ccpd start

Bingo works! I will suffice myself with this, when get time, will fix
cups start ccpd as well. For now it works for me.

Readers, leave a comment, if that worked for you or not.
