Hi All

I purchased a Canon Pixma iP4500 today and having a problem getting it to print through a d-link DNS-323 NAS box which also has a USB port as it can be used as a print server.

I have connected the printer and installed Gutenprint 5.0.2 which includes the printer driver.

I have added the printer using LPD and selecting the printer from the list when choosing 'Print using' and 'Select a driver to use ...' selecting the printer driver from the list, (There are 2 available, 'Canon iP4500 series' and 'Canon iP4500 Series CUPS+GutenPrint - I have tried both).

The printer seems to install OK however it is showing as paused all the time. If I 'Resume' it almost immediately pauses itself again.

I have searched in here and Googled it but come up with nothing and I was wondering if anybody could help me please?

Thanks

- D
