Canon Printers using Ubuntu Linux

Just an FYI....you can download the .deb files (linux printer drivers) from the European Canon site not the US site...why? who knows...

anyhow, get the .deb files then go ahead and unzip them to your desktop in Ubuntu....double click on the "common" file first and get it installed...then the one that says "filter"....linux requires "dependencies" so ya hafta do it in that order...

then go into system>administration>printing and "add" the printer...it will search for it and find it and then just let it search for that driver whole setup you just installed....and viola it will search it out and get it ready for you!  Easy, and works great....
