Ubuntu :: Printing / Scanning Resolution Stuck At 600dpi?
May 18, 2010
I have installed Lucid 64bit and everything is working OK except for my printer / scanner.
I have a Canon Pixma MP520 and when I switched it on and plugged it in Lucid identified it and installed the necessary drivers.
I have tried printing and scanning (scanning using Simple Scan and Xsane) but I can't get any more than 600 dpi resolution (my printer / scanner is capable of 4200 resolution).I have tried changing the resolution in the scanning packages but the resolution stays the same.
I use an Intel P8700, 2 core 64 bit m/c.I have tried downloading the Canon binary files, but these fail after starting when the software detects a 64 bit mc.Now trying with the Canon source files.extracted the print filter loaded the "autogen.sh" which ran and invited me to type "make". Yes! I thought!I have been trying to print for about 5 months now, and am getting weary!George "autogen.sh"ran ./configure, apparently successfully, invited me to type "make" which I did. This failed!I have a copy of the interaction but cannot see any way to add it to this post.
I have a machine running Arch Linux (2010, I believe) with a 6TB RAID-5 array hooked up to a Highpoint RocketRaid 2320. I've been having issues with the RAID controller's drivers and the latest Linux kernels thanks to the driver not being open-source, and as a result I am migrating the system to Windows Server.Problem is that the 6TB disk originally was comprised only of an ext4 partition.I shrunk the partition down as much as I could, and added a NTFS partition in the empty space so I could start moving files. That went fine. Problem is that now I need to shrink the ext4 partition again, move files, shrink again, etc. The second run through resize2fs is taking way longer than the first pass.It seems to be getting stuck at pass 3:
[root@nar-shaddaa rc.d]# resize2fs -p /dev/sdb3 863000000 resize2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/sdb3 to 863000000 (4k) blocks.
I have a shell script set up to print a test page on a couple of my rarely-used large format printers. These are expensive boys, and if they are left unused for too long, their cartridges dry up. So once a week, cron runs the script and everyone is happy. Except I'd like to change the print resolution for one of the printers. lpr does not seem to have an option to send a command to the printer for setting resolution. Is there another command that I could use under Ubuntu within Linux to do what lpr does, but also offers the setting of print resolution?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit with a GTS 250. After installing the restricted driver from NVIDIA's website I get stuck at a 640x320 resolution. The only other option I get is 320x240. The resolution I need is 1680x1050.
I currently have an nvidia 8600 gts w/nvidia restricted drivers and I cannot seem to change the resolution to anything higher than 640x480. Everything used to work perfectly w/the restricted drivers however I downloaded an update and it screwed everything up.
I have tried to edit my xorg.conf file but it seems that either i'm doing something wrong or the nvidia drivers are simply ignoring that file. I tried reverting back to the older versions of the drivers and that didnt seem to work. I tried installing the newest version of the nvidia drivers and that didnt work either. below is my xorg.conf file
It started when I first installed Ubuntu because I heard it was good and I felt like a change of OS, but it didn't recognise my monitor and because of that it was stuck at the resolution 800x600 (I think) and so it didn't quite look right, also it made going on the Internet really awkward, so I searched on the internet to find out how to fix it and I couldn't find anything that worked, so instead I installed Ubuntu netbook version thinking that it would recognise it because it is meant for laptops, so I put the ISO on a USB and it installed but if I tried to do it again it just tried to reinstall itself (I think it was just because I didn't delete the other Ubuntu) and so I just stopped using the USB, so I eventually gave up and tried to delete linux.
I used the Wubi installer for the original Linux so I used that (in the C drive in the Ubuntu folder) to uninstall it too which looked like it uninstalled it fine, I then made the stupid mistake of using EASUS (I think, I cant check anymore) Partition editor and deleted all of the linux sections and made the C drive bigger, after it finished that my laptop doesn't boot up and im stuck at a black screen with it saying to reboot and insert proper boot device. With it not booting I couldn't do anything, but then I remembered the USB and so I put that in and now it boots to Linux, but I really want my windows 7 back because this linux isn't even installed and wont install, the only way I can use it is by exiting the installer and then using the ubuntu that doesn't really look right and doesn't save anything I do. Is there anyway to get my windows 7 back or am I stuck using this?
I am using Ubuntu 10.10. I am facing a problem with display resolution. My monitor is a 14" Samtron (56v) and with Ubuntu i am stuck with 800x600 resolution. I tried everything from 'xrandr' to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' so that i can have 1024x768 resolution. But it seems that nothing is working out.
I installed 10.04 on my former windows box last night, and I seem to be stuck at a screen resolution of 1024x768. I have a Geforce 7600 GT graphics card, and I installed current drivers via the hardware drivers option. I can't go above this resolution in the nvidia x-server settings, and even xrandr says the highest resolution I can use is 1024x768. What is up with that, and how can I change it?
I am a first time user and recently installed 9.10 from a LiveCd then immediately upgraded to 10.04 LTS. I had no black screen problem, but my resolution is stuck at 640x480 with no other options. I upgraded my driver to NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.31 and the resolution remains the same. I have a Geforce GTS 250 and an Acer H233H capable of 1920x1080_75.

I have tried entering a CVT generated modeline to the xorg file but it did nothing.
i Just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my Acer laptop im new to linux and dont know how to fix this, (the resolution is stuck) the graphics card of the laptop is an Intel HD graphics media accelerator or somthing and i have looked everywhere for the drivers intel only supply them for windows 7 im completely stuck
So yesterday, I my power went out on my desktop and when I rebooted, the screen resolution was stuck at 640x480. When I go to the display settings, no other higher options are available. Any suggestions?
Recently when I rebooted the display resolution went to 800x600, where as before it was 1024x768. For some reason 1024x768 is no longer listed in (GNOME) System->Preferences->Moniters. Even after reinstalling Debian from scratch it's not there anymore. What can I do to fix this? System->Preferences->Moniters says Moniter: Unknown and stays that way even if I click Detect moniters.
# xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 800 x 600, maximum 800 x 600 default connected 800x600+0+0 0mm x 0mm
My screen resolution is stuck at 800x600. I am using Fedora 11. The screen resolution used to go higher, but after a restart I have not been able to get it about 800x600. Below is a link to my smolt profile, [URL]This is my video driver Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller. It is an onboard card. I have installed a new graphics driver which did not help. The name of it is, i915Graphics.tar.gz. Keep in mind I installed the driver after F11 wouldn't allow me to increase the resolution from 800x600.
I just switched to opensuse a couple of days ago and I noticed that my resolution was stuck in 800x600. I went and downloaded the nvidia drivers and went to install the driver for my monitor through sax2. When I tried to add the monitor driver I would get out of range errors. I rebooted and can now set the resolution to 1680x1050 which is my max. However, when I go to test these new settings the resolution shown in the window is 1400x1050.

I made a total reinstall of Slack 13.1 the other day and all went seemingly well. After a lot of experimenting and deciding I wanted the disk partitioned differently, a reinstall felt about right. But when I started X the resolution was all too low. xorg.conf was adjusted with the properties of my screen (GDM 4011P). Once upon a time, the Xorg config-tool would ask me my opinion, but now it flashes by and I have to live with what it comes up with.
The nVidia driver was installed (legacy for GeForce 3). I know the config is read, because it fails parsing if I have kHz with the sync-figures. But it otherwise disregard my wish to run at 1280x1024. In XFCE I can run the nVidia configuration tool, but it offers only auto, 320x240 or 640x480. The screen is too small for me to click "ok" on several occasions. The machine is capable of 64bit, 2GHz. But I installed the 32bit version of 13.1, it has 1,5GB RAM.
I have a BIG issue with my fresh Maverick install : when I install proprietary drivers via the graphic utility, either one proposed, the screen resolution is then max in 640x480. But I have hardware acceleration and compiz effects !
I tried, I think, everything. Forcing the resolution in xorg, in monitors.xml, try the newest ones via the ppa, install an older (and used to be working I'm positive) one with .run (which just prevent any graphic display).
I am completely new to Ubuntu or any Linux based OS whatsoever, so excuse me if I sound retarded. I recently installed Xubuntu to an old laptop of mine and everything went fine except for the fact that I had to install a WiFi driver; I liked Xubuntu so much that I decided to go ahead and dual boot Ubuntu on my WIndows 7 machine. After I installed Ubuntu, I realized that I was stuck in 800x600 resolution and I was unable to run the resolution in 1920x1080 like I should be able to. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu and I had the same thing happen. Most of the other help forums I had searched claimed that I needed to check my Xorg Config, but I don't know how to do that. Also, I get a "too many connections" message every time I start in Ubuntu; could this possibly be related?

Quick update: Ubuntu will not let me use the "extra visual effects" option for my desktop appearance. It stars searching for a driver then doesn't let me use the enhanced visuals. This leads me to believe that it's a driver issue. How can I tell which driver I am using in Ubuntu????
I have install linux mint 10 on my system.After all installation finish,the screen resolution is stuck at 800 x 600(4:3).No matter how I try,just could not set the screen resolution to 1024 x 768. Below is system information for your kind assistance.

I've installed CentOS 5.5 on my Acer Aspire One D150. It uses the Intel integrated graphics chip GM945 which isn't supported "out of the box" by CentOS. My screen resolution has defaulted to 800x600, but it should be 1024x600. tried xrandr, and editing the xorg.conf file, and now have gone down the rabbit hole of trying to install xf86-video-intel and its associated dependencies (nested like Russian matryoshka dolls). I'm at the point of trying to install xorg-server, but am getting hung up by its dependencies on xproto and fontsproto, despite having installed them.
I am stuck at 1024x768 in Ubuntu 10.04 with the nVidia GeForce 7100. I installed the drivers suggested by nVidia on their website, but it doesn't seem to heighten my resolution any. 1024x768 is the highest which appears in nVidia X Server Settings.

Is there a way to fix this without having to buy a new card? I've read that the GeForce 7100 is pretty crappy, but I've got no money to space at the moment.
I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
Well I'm trying to set up a US robotics dial up USB Modem. When I enter WVDIALCONFI end up with a screen that says "scanning your serial ports for a modem"It scans and ends up saying Sorry'no modem was detected!Did you configure it properly with SETSERIAL?
I have a Brother MFC-7440N which has Linux drivers, but I can't get useful scans yet. It prints fine, but the only scanning software I've found so far, XSane and a utility just called "Scanner Utility" are both useless.
XSane is no good because it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Scanner Utility has a few problems. Unless I set the paper size to "Legal," it keeps cutting off the bottom few inches of my (US letter-size) document. It's the same, regardless of whether I scan from the auto document feeder, or with the original on the glass. Also the orientation is screwed up. When I select "Portrait," the scan comes out rotated 90 degrees, exactly the opposite of what I'd expect.
I also don't like that there's no way to go back and change the scan settings. If I want to scan another document or at a different resolution, I have to quit Scan Utility and run it again.
Neither utility will scan to a .pdf. XSane gives the option, but like I said, it crashes every time I try to scan something.
Is there a scanning program available for Ubuntu that actually works, & will scan to a .pdf? Brother doesn't supply any scanning software for Linux, just drivers, so I have to find some 3rd-party utility.
Is there an easy scanning program for kubuntu and where do I go to get it? My mom is running it and needs to scan things. She has the all-in-one mentioned in the thread title.
I want to scan in a book and convert it to a pdf AND make an OCR text of it. I am looking for somebody who can help me to gie me some BASH helps to combine the pieces I have already got:
Workflow:
1. scan in the book pages: coverpage (=1), page 3, page 5, page 7 .... n (At this point the book is upside down)
2. scan in the book pages turn the book and scan from the back to the front:
back coverpage (= n-1), page n-3, page n-5 .... 2
3. run the program All scanned images are in directory scannedimages
#!/bin/bash mkdir temppic for i in `find scannedimages/*.png`
[code]....
how to make it, but I have no knowledge how to program it.Maybe something like that exists already and I can save the programming effort.
Is there a way to stop Grub from scanning the optical drive for boot media before getting to the boot menu? Or to skip this step? (I have the drive excluded from the BIOS's boot menu but then Grub still checks it anyway)
I've just bought a GEETEK Hercules USB Wlan adapter, which has the Ralink rt3072 chipset. The Connection manager can find wireless APs, but it won't connect to any of those. Also, aircrack-ng does not find any APs while scanning.After some tinkering and a lot of restarting, I can now connect t wireless networks, although slowly. However, I still can't use it with aircrack-ng.
As a frequent traveler, I spend most of my time in Hotel these months.My laptop is Ubuntu Maverick.Is there any UI tools for wifi scanning and auto-connection in Ubuntu?I have tried wifiradar. Although it could scan out the wifi SSID, while, the wifiradar could not connect to the WIFI.
