Impossible to select glossy paper when printing

  • 772

I have a cheap Canon PIXMA Ip2880 printer. I tried to print a pic on glossy paper from Linux, but impossible to select either "Glossy photo paper" or "Photo Paper Plus Glossy II" in the page setup tab of the print popup. No matter what size print I try (I'm on A4 paper), it won't print and blink 11 times, which means "Paper type and paper size settings are incorrect". If I select "plain paper" it works.

Now, are there paper specific sizes that are allowed ? If so, which ones. And otherwise, how do I print on A4 glossy paper ?!? Thanks

  1. In my case I fixed it by selecting Gutenprint as driver.
