canon pixma 280 printer installation

Asked by siddharth

I recently installed UBUNTU..
I need to install my printer..
I have a canon pixma 280

When i tried to install under 'printing'

And when it looked for drivers there is no option for canon 280 series.

So i selected 220..... When i clicked on 'print test page' it gave the following error message

There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'.

What do i do?
