    Hey mate. If you look at the guide, you'll notice at the top you need some pre-installation files:


    Pre-Installation Files:

    You will need these files before we install the printer:


    cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
    --> http://support-au.canon.com.au/conte...100083403.html
    cnijfilter-mp520series_2.80-1_i386.deb
    --> http://support-au.canon.com.au/conte...100083901.html
    canonmx700.ppd (rename the .txt part!)
    --> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.p...9&d=1199213424
    cups-bjnp-0.5.3.tar.gz
    --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups-bjnp/
    Where I said to cd into the downloaded files directory, I'm saying to change directory in terminal to the place that you put these "pre-installation files".

    e.g. ~/Downloads (aka /home/<username>/Downloads)

    So in this case you would:

    Code:
    cd ~/Downloads
    sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb 
    sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i cnijfilter-mp520series_2.80-1_i386.deb
    etc etc.

    As for your 64-bit machine, there should be no difference since I have put the guide up using the "force-architecture" flag you can see above. This will install the x86 debs despite your OS being x64 (don't worry, it will work fine in this situation).

    Any more trouble just post back here. Cheers.

    Hi All,

    About 3 weeks ago, I installed a Canon MX700 for 3 computers running both Ubuntu 9.10 & Linux Mint 8 (all 32 bit) over our network using this guide.

    All worked fine till today when my wife couldn't print a file from Open office. Something in the updates in the last few days I think.

    Anyway, I deleted just the printer & re-installed it with the ppd file & all is fine again.

    Just thought I would post this in case someone else has the same problem.

    I'm running 9.10 2.6.31-20-generic 32-bit and just went through the steps outlined in this thread. Everything works great!

    I did run into a couple changes that have been hinted at/talked about...
    First, I changed the line:
    sudo apt-get install libcupsys2 libcupsys2-dev
    to:
    sudo apt-get install libcups2 libcups2-dev

    Then, the following 2 lines changed to 0.5.4:

    tar xvzf cups-bjnp-0.5.3.tar.gz
    cd cups-bjnp-0.5.3/

    and finally, the ppd file was buried in ~/Downloads/common/usr/share/ppd/

    It took a little while to track it all down, BUT IT WORKS!!

    Just wondering if it might be worth while to edit this guide so others may benefit without digging so deep...looks like it hasn't been updated for a while...

    THANKS!

    This worked great on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit got it working in about 20min

    A couple of pointers, if you go through the steps of changing the dependencies then you don't have to install the packages at the start of the install just do the following.

    Code:
    cd <downloaded files directory>
    sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb 
    sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i cnijfilter-mp520series_2.80-1_i386.deb 
    tar xvzf cups-bjnp-0.5.3.tar.gz
    cd cups-bjnp-0.5.3/
    sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr 
    sudo make
    ./bjnp
    sudo make install
    Also it should be noted that bjnp binds your printer to an IP address, and though this might go without saying with some, you need to either have a DHCP reservation for your printer or your printer set up using a static IP Address. Otherwise you will have to redo some or all of this any time your Printers IP address changes. The IP address can be set using the printers webpage by pointing your browser to the current IP address of your printer.

    Also I installed using the 0.5.5 build of bjnp, it worked fine but there is a file that you have to change owner to root on. Here is the command to fix that:
    Code:
    sudo chown root /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij
    On a final note If you are looking to use the scanning on this printer, Xsane now auto finds this scanner on the network. Xsane can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Center.

    Thanks for the tutorial
