[cups] Printing with Canon copiers from Windows with CUPS

[Asya Dvorkin]

Hello,

So I looked some more and have a question.

While looking through cups logs, I noticed that the job is sent as octet-stream:

D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[22]="CONTENT_TYPE=application/octet-stream"
D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[24]="PRINTER_INFO=Canon iR-ADV C7260/7270 PPD"
D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[26]="PRINTER=copier_cs232"
D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[27]="PRINTER_STATE_REASONS=media-low-report"
D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[28]="CUPS_FILETYPE=document"
D [29/Mar/2017:09:36:15 -0400] [Job 7] envp[29]="FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE=application/octet-stream"

How come?  From I am reading application/octet-stream happens when a character is unrecognizable or CUPS has no idea what kind of a file is being send.  This happens when I try to print a simple text file (with notepad) or a test job.

Thank you,
Asya

Hello, Helge.

Sorry for the delay.

I need it to work with Windows 7 64bit.

Thank you,
Asya

Well, there is the .INF file, and the printer is listed there, but Win10 report missing driver software
and refuses further processing.

What Windows version do you need the printer to work on?
