Canonip4700 Printer dependencies

[notquitestr8t]

As per previuos releases, the upgrade to 11.10 took out my printer. I followed the same steps as last time to force a -386 driver on my 64-bit system. However, this time the fix does not work.
The dependency package it requires (libpopt0:386) wipes out the native 64-bit libpopt0 package and I am able to print. However, other apps like Samba fail. I'm told to use NFS rather than Samba but what other things will libpopt0:386 affect? Surely after all this time, Ubuntu should be able to work with mainline printers. Is there another work-around that I am missing besides booting into Windows just to print?

No problem I bet this will work , 64 bit system ?! forget about it now http://ubuntuforums.org/images/icons/icon10.gif

run the following commands one at a time :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon

sudo apt-get update

apt-get install cnijfilter-ip4700series

when you are done restart your printer and when configuration finish you shouldn't see filter problem .
Now play with your printer as much as you can!

Thank you VERY much. After all the messing around I did, losing Samba, etc, you come along with a fix so simple to implement:D. Thank you!!!!!!
