*bump*

Interesting: I was avoiding to click this thread given I thought I know where to get the drivers from.
It is unfortunate that Canon's official 3.80 seems to have issues with Pixma IP7250 printers, they won't print, just blink twice and report job 100% complete.

Thanks Mark, the 3.90 pack seems to do the trick here, my Pixma IP7250 is alive :-)

One note for the folks running into this with gentoo/sabayon: make sure you put /usr/lib/cups stuff to /usr/libexec/cups - that is where the magic happens.
