Mike worked on this untill he pulled all his hair out!According to this page
Last year I installed a Canon D420 and with the help of a
Canon Linux
techy got it to work fine. Alicia wanted the copier function
so she has
the D420 and I bought the 6230
It prints a test page. It has occasionally printed other
things.
Now Canon says they have no Linux support.
Does someone have an Ubuntu system that we could try this on?

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-BJC-6200 it's n
ot well supported, but you should be able to get something out
of it. For my money it's HP or Brother for printing under
Linux. I will not even begin to look at LexMark, and Canon has
been tough in the past as well.
drivers from Cannon, installed, blah, blah. The problem is in
conversion from ps to whatever propitiatory language this printer
is using. Watching top I can see a job go to gs, then to
c3pldrv, which then maxes out a CPU to 100%.
The D420 does print via samba to a Windows box and seems to be
working...

Thanks for the comments but, like many of these blog posts, they
seldom address the question I asked: Does someone have an Ubuntu
system running that I could try this printer on? The suggestion of
a VM might be valid to you techies but, unfortunately or
fortunately, I don't know how to do that and I am not about to
learn. That is not stubbornness but logic because I have always
been a systems architect and learning how to program would mess
that up.
Who is running Ubuntu, even if you are not willing to let me test
the Canon?
I am ready to give up on that beast. Since I am getting a Win10
machine to run AutoDesk Inventor, I am sure it will do well on
that machine although eventually I would want a machine with at
least an 18 inch path.
Reading about Postscript and the original Apple printers that
brought us the business printing revolution, those printers were
all made by Canon!

that it's be seen on CentOS, Arch, Ubuntu... It's more likely an
architecture issue.
The earliest Apple printer I ever saw were HP. That may not be
saying much though...
