canon ip2600 installation on 12.04

Did you check the UK Canon site for drivers? They do make deb files for their printers.

Please disconnect your usb printer...

Then open a terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon

Then type:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/michael-gruz-canon-precise.list

substitute the "precise" with "oneiric" the file must be some like this:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/michael-gruz/canon/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/michael-gruz/canon/ubuntu oneiric main

Save and exit then type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2600series

Connect your printer and try...

E: Unable to locate package cnijfilter-ip2600series
I keep getting the above notice.Printer is loaded , but will not print.

Hi Marco:
My system has crashed. I am unable to boot in 12.04. Sys recovery was no
help. May have to reinstall 12.04.
I am running from the live CD now.
By the way I am dual booted with XP and the printer works ok on XP.
Will try and contact you again when I am booted from the hard drive on
12.04 Thanks for you input.
