help ! canon lbp6030 is not printing on mx 21.3

Launch MXPI --> in Popular Apps (the default), scroll down to Kernels --> select the Antix 4.19 kernel and install it --> after the install is complete, reboot --> at the Grub screen, click on Advanced Options and then choose the 4.19 kernel as the boot choice for this session. If this solves the problem, you can make the switch permanent with the Boot Options utility in MX Tools.

The 4.19 kernel was the default in MX 19 so if your printer is going to work, it’s the one that will do the job. The 4.19 kernel will receive security updates until Dec 1, 2024 and you will have until then to purchase a new printer because running MX in a commercial setting with an unsupported kernel would be a risk not worth taking.

one thing i did't try is to switch to older kernel from 21.3 because i dont know how to do it

MX Package Installer (also Synaptic). Under first tab (Popular Applications) you have category named: Kernels. There are several to choose from. This is how you install them. To then run one of these newly installed kernels, at boot menu, choose advanced options and you will find in there these newly added kernels. There is also systemd version, you should try that one as well.

i tried mx 21.3 64 bit version but same result i tried on other computers didt work

Generally speaking, if it also don't work on another computer, chances for bad hardware increases. Unless you have on another computer also MX, same version. There is possibility, your driver is just not properly installed. It can be tricky sometimes. This is why I sugested you also try other Linux distros, but windows would be the best. If you have windows on your other computer and printer still it is not working, chances of faulty printer ot cord is then high.

Do you see how I'm guessing what you may have done. What OS is installed on another computer?!? You just don't feel like giving much information, right? Even after I took time, explaining you steps to do (did you tried some other distros, Mint, Arch based...?) and document everything then come here and post all your data, so we can be able to help. But you are as vague as you can be.

There is a lot of very very patients members here. I admire them. But I'm not one of them. I will let other more patient members here, to beg you for more data.

So which is it? We are getting a little sick of this dance you are having with an 8 - 9 year old, suspect, Canon laser printer.

A question: is your printer the original LBP 6030p or the newer I-SENSYS-LBP-6030p?
