These will explain how to make printer Canon Pixma IP1000 works on Ubuntu 7.10:

1. Download this file. (If that link doesn't work you can get it here or here). This file contents 3 deb files.


2. Extract file and install these 3 deb files.

$ sudo dpkg -i (names of the 3 deb files)


3.Edit the .ppd file in folder /usr/share/cups/model/

To allow printing quality options to be accessed through cups' printer properties you must edit as root the printer's ppd file.(This applies only to the ip1000)

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixmaip1000.ppd


4. Then add these lines:

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne

*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

You can also replace these lines:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

with:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<>setpagedevice"
