Public bug reported: Downloaded and installed Turboprint driver for Canon iP90 but balked at the high ($55 USD) price. The 30 day free trial ended and I found that the iP90 printer would operate after installing the iP110 driver (with the iP90-Cups or the iP90-Gutenprint drivers, it would only output 25 or so blank pages with faint printing at the top of the page). Canon didn't make a Linux driver for the iP90 printer that I can find.
Today, tried to uninstall Turboprint but it seems to be all over my printer config setup. As part of that, I uninstalled the 'working' iP110 driver setup. Deleted it from the printer window. Now when I install the CUPS generic iP110 driver, and try to print a test page, it does nothing. Doesn't even wink the printers activity light and doesn't show the print job in the print queue. So it seems that Turboprint insinuated itself into the system in a way that prevents it's total removal and is somehow blocking the CUPS drivers.
