8.10 not able to install canon iP1600???

i require to solve this urgent...
require printing for daily basis...

my last option would be switch back to window interface...

Try installing the ip2200 driver though your printer is ip1600...

Works?

well that's what i have been doing all this time...
but it seems to be not working...

Try:

Remove the printer from your system.

$ sudo aptitude install alien libxm11 libpng3 libtiff4

get this file:

http://fr.software.canon-europe.com/files/soft24301/software/iP2200_Linux_260.tar.gz

$ tar xvfz iP2200_Linux_260.tar.gz

$ alien -i *.rpm

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2

then connect ans install the printer...

Any problem?

You have to activat your universe repository: http://www.vcubells.net/imatges/universe.jpg

Then you have to

$ sudo aptitude update

$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

$ sudo aptitude install libxml1

Cheers

no need to do anythingg is it??

Try installing deb packages into 2 steps:

$ sudo alien -c *.rpm

and then

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Cheers

ok i done all the step provided but when i wan to try on print test page
this msg appear

Printer 'iP1600':'cups-missing-filter'

Have you uninstalled all your printers? Even pdf printer? Do it.

Unplug and plug your ip1600 printer.

And try installing a more up to date version of the packages:
http://www.vcubells.net/fitxers/ip1600.zip

yes i did uninstall everything....
i will try this pack first....

should i remove previous installed ip2200driver???

iP1600 "Unable to start filter "pstocanonij" - No such file or directory."

##should i remove previous installed ip2200driver???
yes!

##iP1600 "Unable to start filter "pstocanonij" - No such file or directory."
It's a good message...

Finally, get these debs:
http://bomberosalas.googlepages.com/cnijfilter-common_2.70-2_i386.deb
http://bomberosalas.googlepages.com/cnijfilter-ip1800_2.70-2_i386-hardy.deb

And install:

$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.70-2_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-ip1800_2.70-2_i386-hardy.deb

In that order...

Your printer should work now...

hmm actually how to remove the installed printer driver???
coz previously i urgently require printing i formated to window already
just uninstall the printer from the cups is it???

coz during the previous ip2200 driver i also got the same message in cups

##should i remove previous installed ip2200driver???

Sorry, the correct answer is not...

Cheers

after i get this msg...
i cant use my system to update or install...
they require me to type in
sudo apt-get install -f

to repair them it is due to this ip1800 package

You have to install libgtk1.2, libxml1 and cupsys.

When you have installed these packages, then install

$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.70-2_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-ip1800_2.70-2_i386-hardy.deb

i know wat is the problem liao....

even after i follow your step to get safe-upgrade first to install libxml1 but still fail.....
"No candidate version found for libxml1"

how to pass this step??
i think once i able to clear this step i will be able to print....

Edit this file:

$ sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/cnijfilter-ip1800series.postinst

and modify last line. The correct is that:

/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d cups restart

Then install

$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-ip1800_2.70-2_i386-hardy.deb

Cheers

cupsys problem solve

i also had problems running Canon IP1800 on kubuntu Interpid. the main was libxml1 dependency. i downloaded the packages from the forum below where the guys edited the dependecies, and they were installed succesfully.
