With the multiarch changes in Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 and the newer cnijfilter packages, the situation is far better:
$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb cnijfilter-ip3600series_3.00-1_i386.deb [] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cnijfilter-common:i386: cnijfilter-common:i386 depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1). Basically, libcups2 should have a 'provides' entry advertising libcupsys2 to retain compatibility with these older (2010) drivers. It'll be extremely hard to change the published Canon driver drivers short-term. Sadly, the open-source drivers are still feature and quality incomplete, so today, we need to use the vendor drivers for a complete solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763867 Title: Canon binary 32-bit drivers can not be installed on Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/763867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
