Debian 5.0 - Canon Pixma iP3500 printing failure

I don't know whether the problem is in the stable distribution of Debian
5.0 or in the Canon distribution of a driver for the Pixma iP3500, but I
was unable to print using the Pixma iP3500 after I installed Debian 5.0
on my Compaq Presario F763NR.

After some debugging, I found that the printer failed to print because
the printer driver looked for the file: /usr/local/bin/cifip3500 and
couldn't find the file because it was actually located
at /usr/bin/cifip3500.  Adding a link from /usr/local/bin/cifip3500
to /usr/bin/cifip3500 solved the problem.

I am using Debian 5.0 on a compaq Presario F763NR and I installed the
Canon driver using the Canon files:
cnijfilter-common-2.80-1.i386.rpm which I converted to a .deb file
and using
cnijfilter-ip3500series_2.80-1_i386.deb

I installed Debian 5.0 using the Debian Netinstall iso.

I'm not certain, but when I previously installed "Lenny" prior to the
stable release of 5.0, I did not experience any problem installing and
using the driver for the Canon PIXMA iP3500.
