Patch for toner status (command filter) for 1690MF (1 reply)

reinhold — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:01:33 -0400

Some days ago, I sent you a patch that implements a command filter for the 1690MF so that CUPS also gets the toner status (% CMYK, Fuser, etc.).
Since I didn't get any response, I just wanted to ask whether you got it or whether I should send it again (which email?).

This is used for example in GNOME's printer properties dialogs, where the supplies status is nicely shown to the user...

I have no idea if other printer use the same PJL command (@PJL INFO DSTATUS) to query the supplies status, so I only added it to the ppd of the 1690MF so far.

Cheers,
Reinhold

Supporting the fax on Magicolor 1690MF (no replies)

As I have a multifunction printer, I'd also like the fax functionality of the 1690MF to be available in Ubuntu. From wireshark, I get the following dump, which indicates that it's not using the JAVAFLOW protocol, but apparently it still uses JBIG for the data:

Is there any way a cups driver can be implemented for that fax functionality?

Too little red (2 replies)

reinhold — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:26:48 -0400

I have a Konica Minolte 1690MF-d multifunction printer/fax/scanner. Printing in color works (over the network, using either the 1690 ICM or no icm makes no difference), but the printout has too little magenta in it (i.e. a light pink area comes out as light yellow).
Red areas come out as red, so it's not a toner problem. Also, color-copying preserves the exact colors. Just printing in color uses way too little magenta.

Is there any way to fix the colors?

Thanks,
Reinhold

Hum, unfortunately, the landscape orientation does not work with the driver.
All printing are done in portrait orientation.

Hi,

I followed the installer-notes and I am possible to print text in b/w but not in color. When I try to print a photo I only get a blue square printed?

I've checked the configuration and the printer is set to color-mode using the 16*.icm.

Can somebody give me some advice in fixing this issue?

With kind regards!!
