According to http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon- PIXMA_iP1700 some people got this printer working with the proprietary Canon driver for the iP 2200.
If you want your printer driver to be installed automatically in future versions of Ubuntu, these steps need to be taken: At first you should ask your printer manufacturer for a Linux driver for your specific printer model. Secondly you should also ask you manufacturer to provide a distribution independent driver package as described here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/WritingAndPackagingPrinterDrivers, so we can implement this specification: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdriverautodownload in future versions of Ubuntu that will automatically install your printer driver. -- can not use canon PIXMA ip 1700 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
