Hi all, I take everything back. I haven't printed to my Canon for quite a while and when I just tried it in Ubuntu 12.04 the computer acts like it is printing - i.e. no error messages but nothing is actually printed - same problem as Geoff. Scanning function still works though. Cheers, Peter On

I believe the drivers now get installed with cups, so you should delete your existing printer and re-install it.  If the drivers have not been included then you should look at Michael Gruz PPA on launchpad to see if the driver is there: https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon though

Hi Geoffrey, I have a Canon MX350 printer which I managed to get working by downloading drivers for Linux from the Canon web site. I checked the web site and there are drivers for your printer, but I notice that they only have rpms. There is a program called alien that converts rpms to deb files.
