1. Introduction -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for using the Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux. This CAPT printer
driver provides printing functions for Canon LBP printers operating under
the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) environment, a printing system that
operates on Linux operating systems.

3. Hardware Requirements --------------------------------------------------------
This printer driver can be used with the following hardware environment.

Hardware: Computer that is enable to operate Linux, with x86 compatible CPU
          (32-bit)

Object Printer: LBP3300
                LBP5000
                LBP3210
                LBP3000
                LBP2900
                LBP3200
                LBP-1120/1210


Please see the online manual about the install method and the concrete usage.


4. Auto startup setting procedure for ccpd daemon -------------------------------
When setting the Status Monitor to start automatically, ccpd daemon must be set
to start automatically as well.
Set ccpd daemon to start automatically in the following procedure.

<For a distribution with a /etc/rc.local file>
Log in as 'root' and add the '/etc/init.d/ccpd start' command to the
/etc/rc.local file.

<For a distribution with a /sbin/insserv command>
Log in as 'root', add the following comments to the third line in
/etc/init.d/ccpd, and execute the 'insserv ccpd' command.

5. Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions --------------------------------------

- When specifying multiple pages/copies for [Pages per sheet] 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 [Number of copies] in
  the [cngplp] dialog box (the driver UI), but by the number of copies set when
  creating the PostScript file.

- If settings are changed from the driver UI, during print processing, the
  printed result will reflect the changed settings.

- If [Brightness and Gamma] is specified in the [General] sheet from an
  application such as OpenOffice.org, GIMP, or Acrobat Reader v.5.0, the settings
  will be invalid.

- If you set [Filter] to [HP-GL/2 options] in the [Filter] sheet of the printer
  driver screen, due to a cause of operation by the CUPS module, the [Pen width
  (0 10.0mm)] setting is invalid.

- You cannot print a PDF document by directly specifying it from the desktop or
  command line. When printing a PDF document, it is recommended that you print
  it from Acrobat Reader.

- 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 the paper size is specified from the application, the specified contents
  will not be valid. The value specified for [Paper Size] in the [General] sheet
  in the printer driver screen will be reflected when printing.

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, the driver UI may display
  unintelligible characters. You can solve this problem using the following
  method.
  1) Log in as 'root'.
  2) Execute the following command to change the GTK+ environment settings.
     # cd /etc/
     # ln -s opt/gnome/gtk ./

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, a warning may occur when you
  activate the driver UI. You can solve this problem using the following
  method.
  1) Open [K Menu] -> [Control Center].
  2) Select [Appearance & Themes].
  3) Select [Colors].
  4) Deselect [Apply colors to non-KDE applications].
  5) Close [Control Center].

- If you are using LBP3300 or LBP5000, blank paper is not output according
  to Glue Code specifications, even if the print job includes blank pages.
  The setting does not become effective even after setting [Use Skip Blank
  Pages Mode] in the [Finishing] sheet to [Off] or specifying the printer
  setting not to use the Skip Blank Pages mode from the command line.

- If you are using LBP3300 or LBP5000 in a network environment, the version
  of the firmware of the network board needs to be 1.30 or later, otherwise
  the network board does not operate properly.
  Download the latest update file from the Canon website and update the firmware.

- If you are using SUSE Linux 9.3 or SUSE Linux 10.0, and are printing from
  the [Print] dialog box of Mozilla or FireFox, because the multiple copies
  setting is not enabled, you can print only one copy regardless of how many
  copies you have specified.
  This problem can be solved by changing the following line in the file
  "/etc/cups/mime.convs".
  [Before change]
    application/mozilla-ps application/postscript 33 pswrite
  [After change]
    application/mozilla-ps application/postscript 33 pstops
