The HOWTO:
1. Install required packages
Install alien with synaptic
Install libxml1 with synaptic (required later on to run canon's bjcups application)
2. Download Driver
open terminal
cd to your preferred download directory
For ip1000:
$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfi....50-2.i386.rpm
$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfi....50-2.i386.rpm
$ wget http://www.mafia.or.id/bjfilter/bjfi....50-2.i386.rpm
3. Convert .rpm to .deb
$ sudo alien bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixmaip1000-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixmaip1000-lprng-2.50-2.i386.rpm
4. Install
$ sudo dpkg -i
5.Edit .ppd file
To allow printing quality options to be accessed through cups' printer properties you must edit as root the printer's ppd file.(This applies only to the ip1000)
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixmaip1000.ppd
Add these lines:
*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality
You can also replace these lines:
*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
with:
*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution
Save the file
6. Fix libs
