I have a similar "Print job canceled at printer." problem using "lp" with plain text on a Linux system (Raspberry Pi OS).
But then I went to the printer's own web server.
If someone else wants to see this: find the printer's local IP address. Mine changes over time; I don't remember how to find it in the printer's menus, but somehow I got mine set up with the Bonjour / Airprint / Zeroconf name "Canon_LBP622C.local". (actually I'm changing the name here.)
So I can say, e.g. ping Canon_LBP622C.local, and the ping shows the 192.168.2.6 or whatever it is today.
But, I can also just use the ".local" name in my browser (in my case http://Cannon_LBP622C.local )
to bring up the web interface for the printer.
To "log in,"
Check General User Mode, no user name, hit Login button.
"Status Monitor / Cancel" button.
Then on the left under Print, "Job Log".
I had done two things on the Raspberry Pi, and a third test on my Mac, which has been having no problems:
First thing: On the Pi: Linux uses the CUPS printing software. Try to print by entering the unix command "lp", then type hello (return), then type control D (end of file). The computer says,
request id is Canon_LBP622C-5 (0 file(s))
This job just produces a beep on the printer.
The log entry for this on the printer web page is hard to reproduce in this comment but the interesting parts are:
Job #: 158, Result: Error, Job Type: Printer, File Name: (stdin),
Original Pages: 1, Output Pages: 0, Sheets x Copies: 0 x 0, Error Code: #822.
Second thing: Still on the Pi, start the "Mousepad" editor, enter hello, go to the File menu and Print.
The printer prints "hello" in a typewriter font.
Log entry:
Job #: 159, Result: OK, Job Type: Printer, File Name: Mousepad job #1,
Original Pages: 1, Output Pages: 1, Sheets x Copies: 1 x 1, and no error code.
Third thing: On a Mac (Macs also use CUPS printing), do the "lp" command typing "Hello."
The computer says,
request id is Canon_LBP622C_623C_long_string_of_hex_digits_ (0 file(s))
The printer prints "Hello" in a Helvetica-like font.
Log entry:
Job #: 160, Result: OK, Job Type: Printer, File Name: (stdin),
Original Pages: 1, Output Pages: 1, Sheets x Copies: 1 x 1, and no error code.
I have a feeling the Mac is using the "enscript" utility to turn the text into Postscript before sending to the printer, but I don't know how to manually configure that on a Linux system.
A Cannon page about printer error codes:
Countermeasures for Each Error Code - Canon
822: "An file in a USB memory device could not be printed because the format of the file is not supported.
Check the supported file formats and save the file again.
Printer Functions" -- which links to a page including this:
Memory Media Print Function
Printable File Formats | JPEG (DCF/Exif 2.21 or earlier/JFIF) TIFF (JPEG/MH/MR/MMR compression) PDF (Version 1.7) |
Although I don't see how this relates to memory sticks, this list doesn't seem to include plain Unix text files.
