New Repo for Canon Printer Driver

Replying to an old thread... but with a solution that worked for me:

I was having the problem of Ubuntu only printing out on the upper-left quarter of a page (only I was having it on an HP LaserJet 1012). It would print out the whole page, it would just look like it was 25% of the size it was supposed to be. Same with the test pages.

My fix was as follows:
System > Administration > Printers
Select the printer > Job Options tab
My "Pages per side" was set to 4, instead of 1.

After almost HALF A DECADE, I believe there is still NO Linux driver for the Canon PIXMA iP3000. This is just like those WinModems... we should call these cursed devices WinPrinters.

Which, of course, will eventually be forgotten in the ashes of printing history and nobody in the world of Linux would cry for them.

Time to support BROTHER and HP printers more!
