[OpenIndiana-discuss] Can't print on Canon USB Printer MP 230 (but yes on MP160)

[Roel_D]

Try the MP 610 drivers. 
I have Canon PIXMA MP610 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4 drivers installed and
these work fine for printing. 
That is: printing local and shared over local network by Windows XP/Win7
clients.
Scanning doesn't work, haven't tested it. 

No experience with VBox printer sharing.

Just in case it is a VBox problem - what user are you running as?
For non-roots you need to add users to the vboxguest group so they have
access to the VBox Filter drivers (for USB, maybe for advanced networking,
etc.)

As for CUPS, I've had limited experience with it; I know that beside
standard (packaged with CUPS) drivers, there are also projects like foomatic
and Gutenprint which provide additional drivers, and CUPS allows to use
them. You might try to see if that helps. However, the first few google hits
discuss that there are no drivers specific for MP230 as it is a very recent
model...

Good luck,
//Jim
