This is driver for ip1000.

The HOWTO:
1. Install required packages
Install alien with synaptic
Install libxml1 with synaptic (required later on to run canon's bjcups application)

2. Download Driver
open terminal
cd to your preferred download directory
For ip1000:

$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfilter-pixmaip1000-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfilter-pixmaip1000-lprng-2.50-2.i386.rpm

3. Convert .rpm to .deb
$ sudo alien bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixmaip1000-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixmaip1000-lprng-2.50-2.i386.rpm

4. Install
$ sudo dpkg -i <names of the 3 generated deb files>

5.Edit .ppd file
To allow printing quality options to be accessed through cups' printer properties you must edit as root the printer's ppd file.(This applies only to the ip1000.
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixmaip1000.ppd
Add these lines:
*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

You can also replace these lines:
*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
with:
*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: "<</HWResolution[2400 2400]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

Save the file

6. Fix libs

$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1

(i don't know why i do this but otherwise the printer does not work)

7. Restart Cups
$ sudo killall cupsd
$ sudo cupsd

8. Setup Printer
-System>Administration>Printing>New Printer
-Choose Local or network printer and specify port or url, respectively
-Forward
Manufacturer>canon
Model> PIXMA IP1000 (depends on your printer)
Driver>Standard
-Apply
(if you can't find your printer choose:install driver>choose the ppd file you edited, reboot and try again to setup printer)

9. Test
Right Click on printer> properties>print test page

10. Setup on GIMP
-open an image to print
-file>print>Choose your printer name>setup printer:
Printer Model>PostScript level 2
command>lpr -P <your printer name> (PIXMA IP1000)
PPD File>browse at /usr/share/cups/model/ (mine is /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixmaip1000.ppd)
-OK
-Save Settings
-Print

Hi,

I've followed your tips, and success to install it.

However i came to this problem.

The TEST PRINT is Ok, but I can't print from any other application (Open Office, GIMP, Firefox etc).

The printer LED is blinking, but there is no output.

Checking at the PRINT JOBS, also nothing.

Pls help... thanx

Would you mind working on a driver for the Canon MF4150 laser printer? :-) Then I would be able to print from Linux.
