This isn't do or die! My printer prints. I'm trying to troubleshoot this, more or less, as a learning experience. The software is 32bit but I was able to do a forced install for 64bit.
A while back I found this site, ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/, that had drivers for my Canon i950 printer. I took a guess which were the ones I'd need then made them into .deb files & tried to install. The deal is I can get the printer to print correctly (standard cups print drives made a mess!) but can't get other utilities to work. When installing pstocanonbj_3.3-1_i386.deb it sites a dependency on libcupsys2 folder which is no longer in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10. The is, however, a libcups2 which bring us to this post @ Ubuntuforums, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-1305248.html. The dependency was moved from libcupsys2 to libcups2 & all worked. One major difference is the printers are different (his was ip1900 whereas mine is an i950) I'm wondering if I could do the same?
If this works, I get to convert all the language in the icon photos from Japanese to English!
This is the error I got during install in the terminal:
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:
