Thank you Edgar Ilaga, this tutorial can be used by Canon PIXMA iP1800 series too.

I had Jaunty Jackelope installed for 3 days AND had just gotten my ip1800 printing on it when I decided to upgrade to the latest, greatest 9.10 Karmic Koala, then....no more printer >

I used this link http://www.blogternals.com/2009/07/0...ip1800-ubuntu/ to get the ip1800 up and running on 9.04 and it claims to work on 9.10 also, but it does not for me.

I'm running an AMD 64 X2 3800+ so all this i386 stuff is frustrating me. Is there an easy way to use the existing instructions and force AMD 64 architecture? Anybody, please, this has turned into a 3 day, after work frustration fest.

In the Ubuntu 9.04 release, cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb file depended on libcupsys2. Now, I've just learned that 9.10 scrapped libcupsys2 in favor of libcups2, which is causing broken dependency issues in Ubuntu due to missing symbolic links, as I've been told. Any idea as to how I can resolve this? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Update: Just finished resolving the issues stated here. Here's what I did:
1. Download Debian drivers over at http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010647.asp
2. Extract the file (iP1900_debian_printer.tar) to desktop; there should be 3 files produced from there. cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb; cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb; and common_3.00-1.tar.gz
3. We'll first repackage the common .deb. Open up a terminal window and navigate to your desktop. There, type the following commands:
4. You should now see two new folders - common and DEBIAN. What we need to do is to change the file control in DEBIAN to reflect libcups2. So go ahead and type:
5. In the file that opens, look for the line
and change libcupsys2 to libcups2. Save the file.
6. Now, copy the entire DEBIAN folder into common. We now need to repackage these into a .deb. So, open up a new terminal, navigate to where common is, and go ahead and type in the terminal:
and double-click on the resulting .deb file to install the file.
7. Do steps 1-6 for cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb, with the exception that you should type in cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb and substitute ip1900 for common wherever it appears above.

Hope this helps you all out!

I have tryed to do everything you have here and when I type the commands in the terminal is keeps saying there is no directory, how do I go about creating a directory for this? Thank you for all help

Hey Edgar, thanks for the lucid post.. The installation worked fine applying the procedure to the two .deb files of the Canon pixma ip4600 driver (note: you have to delete the "common" directory, before executing the same operations with the second .deb package).

Now I had a bizarre problem:

1) I can't change from Gutenprint to the Canon driver in the printer configuration
> I go to the the cups interface on http://127.0.0.1:631/ and add it ther

2) Now it's in the printers where I can't reselect the Gutenprint driver and it won't print !!, always issuing the error message

 'cups-insecure-filter'

> Found the solution in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313291 and executed the following commands

sudo chown -hR root /usr/lib/cups/filter
sudo chown -hR root /usr/lib/cups/backend
sudo chgrp -hR root /usr/lib/cups/filter
sudo chgrp -hR root /usr/lib/cups/backend

NOW everything works great!! Thanks Edgar, thanks Linux community.. (Unfortunately I begin to loath system updates just like the old guys )

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10.

I tried Edgar's procedure (see #1 above) twice.

cnijfilter-common_3.00-1i386.deb installed.

cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb did NOT install. The attempted installation yieldedd the following:

QUOTE

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: cnijfilter-common (>=3.00)

ENDQUOTE

Is there a way I can fix the problem?

Will try later on pixma 1800
