Installing Canon PIXMA iP1200 Printer On Ubuntu Hardy Heron
Ubuntu Hardy Heron does not include drivers for my printer, a Canon PIXMA iP1200. Worst, Canon does not provide Linux drivers for this model.
Fortunately, I found a compatible driver here. Follow these steps to install the printer driver:
(1) Add the driver to the software repository.
echo "deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
(2) Update package headers.
sudo apt-get update
(3) Install the driver.
sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.6 bjfilter-2.6 pstocanonbj
(4) Connect the printer and add a new printer using System >> Administration >> Printing. Click 'New Printer' and follow the instructions.
You should choose 'IP2200-Ver.2.60' from the driver list.

Thanks a lot, work perfectily
It didn't work.
When I send to print, the paper comes out of the printer with nothing on it.
The printer responds, but doesn't print anything.
It's like if the printer is trying to print but it doesn't know how to do it.
it does not work...i treid to print the test page and it shows the printer is not connected...
