I would like to try but I have installed the Canon drivers that did override the foomatic/gutenprint driver. Please, answer my question on the "related questions" side on how to revert back to gutenprint without messing up.
Preferably I would like to have two logical printers installed. One with the Canon driver (that works ;-) and one with the gutenprint.

The print is yellowish and has high contrast (missing dark shades of colors). I am using Kubuntu 12.04 "Precise" with color management enabled for the monitor. No printer profile installed. Same result with all printing applications (GIMP / PhotoPrint) and any driver settings I have tried. I start to be frustrated and cannot fix the issue. Possibly there is a bug somewhere. Help needed. Below is my findings. -- added a new finding on Jan 3rd I installed the linux driver Canon provides on its web site(v. 3.00-1, 2008). (Had to change the dependency libcupsys2->libcups2, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305248). The colors are fine but I lost all the controls added by the gutenprint. Anyhow, I think it confirms a bug in the cups+gutenprint -driver) --- The ppd-file /etc/cups/ppd/MP240_series.ppt contains the following line with a reference to a .ppd that does not exist.
