Hi,
I have the pixma ip1800 usb printer which was detected and worked within 5 minutes with kubuntu hardy.
I just cannot get it working in intrepid. I downloaded the two rpm files from the canon website (cnijfilter-common, cnijfilter-ip1800series) converted them to debs with alien.
Turned printer on and hal-lpadmin detected the printer, installed the two driver debs, did localhost:631 in firefox to get the cups admin page.
Installed the printer, set it as default and added my username as allowed user and restarted cups daemon. If i do 'lpq' in konsole it says 'ip1800 ready no entries' but it will not print.
Send a print job to it and kde 4.1 shows the printer icon in tray, disk light flashes etc but nothing happens at the printer?
Obviously this a serious pain in the bottom, I'd like to get it working rather than hope kde 4.2 solves it.
Thanks for any help.
