I'm very new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to set up my Canon Pixma ip1600. Thanks go to the gentleman at this blog for the instructions: Hopefully this helps some people avoid searching around like I had to.

That should be it.at least that did it for me. You should see 'iP2200 Ver.2.60' - select that.

When it asks for a driver choose 'Canon' from the list of manufacturers and then scroll right to the bottom of the list. You should be able to see it listed on the left. If the printer is already in the list highlight it and delete it. Make sure the printer is connected then go to System > Administration > Printing Sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 Sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-ip2200_2.60-2_bĭo some more magic I don't even understand: Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install alien libxml1 libpng3 It is possible however to use the ip2200 driver by doing the following: When it was first plugged in Ubuntu recognised it as the right make and model but no driver was available.

Was setting up Ubuntu on my gf's dad's computer and ran into trouble getting his printer installed.
