Hello!
Interfacing a Canon LBP6030w laser printer with an ARM-based system like the iMX6ULL can indeed be challenging due to the lack of official ARM drivers from Canon. The error you’re encountering, “exce format error,” is likely due to using a binary compiled for a different architecture.
Here are some potential solutions you might consider:
-
Open-Source Alternatives: Look for open-source drivers that support ARM architecture. Projects like Gutenprint or foo2zjs might have compatible drivers or could be adapted to work with your printer model.
-
Modify Yocto Recipes: If you find a compatible open-source driver, you can create or modify a Yocto recipe to include it in your build. This involves adding the driver’s source and any dependencies to your Yocto layers.
-
Community Support: Engage with the open-source community to see if others have faced similar challenges and have developed solutions. Forums and mailing lists related to CUPS or ARM Linux might provide valuable insights.
While these steps can help, they require a good understanding of both the Yocto Project and Linux printing systems. If these solutions are not feasible, you might need to consider alternative printers that offer better support for ARM architecture.
I hope this helps you move forward with your project.
