Mike, you can simply create a second print queue with the Gutenprint driver. If the Canon driver gets assigned automatically, simply right- click the printer's icon on system-config-printer's main screen, select "Properties", and in the properties dialog, click the "Change" button near "Make and Model". Then click the (already selected) Canon and on the next page switch to Gutenprint as driver on the right. If Gutenprint is not listed, check whether your printer appears more than once in the model list.

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.
