I needed to install my canon mp620 printer and didnt find good drivers
so by combining some post from different forums i got a sollution for my problem
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...=canon+printer
http://www.nervous.it/2009/04/canon-...ess-on-ubuntu/

i hope to help others out with the same problem
a funny fact: i succeeded with this after only 3 days experience with linux
so if your down, keep your head op and try again.

  1. install cups, libcups2, libcups2-dev en build-essential

 

Code:
        apt-get install cups libcups2 libcups2-dev build-essential

Download the package cups-bjnp-0.5.4.gz-tar
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups-bjnp/
create a folder named printerdrivers in root of your account
dpkg the package in that map
you may delete the original package

execute this in the terminal

Code:
 sudo su (give the root password)
cd printerdrivers/cups-bjnp-0.5.4/
./configure && make && sudo make install

Download the original printerdrivers from the canon site
cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb

copy them to the folder printerdrivers
2. execute this in the terminal

Code:
dpkg -x cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb common
dpkg --control cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
chmod 777 common
chmod 777 DEBIAN
gedit /DEBIAN/control

find l the words libcupsys2 in the document that opens and replace it with libcups2
save the file and close gedit

navigate to the folder printer
and cut the folder DEBIAN and past it into the folder common
then execute this in the terminal

Code:
cd common
chmod 755 DEBIAN
cd ..
chmod 755 common
dpkg -b common cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
rm -rf common

execute the second step also for the onther printerdriver
in my case: cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb
but sustitute “common” with “mp610series” wherever it appears above.

  1. Install the drivers by executing this in the terminal

 

Code:
 sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb
  1. Then download this files from http://www.nervous.it/2009/04/canon-...ess-on-ubuntu/

canonmp620-630en.ppd
cifmp610.conf

also copy them into the folder printerdrivers
and execute this in the terminal

Code:
cp canonmp620-630en.ppd /usr/share/ppd/
cp cifmp610.conf /usr/lib/bjlib/
/etc/init.d/cups restart

navigate to http://localhost:631 in your browser
click on administration
click on add printer
when your printer is found select it
click on continue
you may enter the place of your printer
klik on continue
search for canonmp620-630 or canonmp610 in the list
select it and click on continue
set your default options and set them

the last step lets ubuntu know that these drivers are good
so execute this in the terminal

Code:
sudo chown -hR root /urs/lib/cups/filter
sudo chown -hR root /urs/lib/cups/backend
sudo chgrp -hR root /urs/lib/cups/filter
sudo chgrp -hR root /urs/lib/cups/backend
