Continuing in the Oneiric live session with all PPA updates installed.

Can you run the commands (printer connected and turned on, second command only if you are using A4-sized paper):

lpadmin -p test -E -v usb://Unknown/Printer -m foomatic-db-compressed-ppds:0/ppd/foomatic-ppd/Canon-BJ-200-bj200.ppd
lpadmin -p test -o PageSize=A4

Can you print on the printer "test" now?

If you cannot print, follow the instructions in "CUPS error_log" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems.

Start system-config-printer, click the "Add" button. Under the detected local printers there should be an "Unknown" printer. Choose this and choose "Canon" and "BJ-200" on the following screens. Complete the wizard and try to print. Does this work?

If you still cannot print, follow the instructions in "CUPS error_log" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems again.

Download the live CD of Ubuntu Precise (12.04 LTS) beta 1 which got published today and boot this CD. You do not need to add a PPA, but do all updates by running the commands

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then repeat my instructions of this comment.
