How to setup Canon InkJet Pixma IP 1300?

Solution 1:

Just installed the same printer on Quantal 32bit edition (canon pixma IP1300).... These are the steps you should try:

1) Add repo:

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

2) Remove the printer installed in cups. And disconnect the printer.

3) sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2200series

4) restart cups:

sudo service cups restart

5) chose printer ppd driver when installing the printer:

/usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd

6) print test page > succes.

Hope i helped you.

August 2014 update:

The above answer (by hellyeah) worked for me for Canon PIXMA iP1600 (with 64 bit Ubuntu), with the exception that in step 1 I had to instead do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update

Hopefully this saves someone some time.
