How To : Karmic Koala and Canon PIXMA iP1800-iP1900

November7

[ad#ad-post]
Note : This tutorial is only for Canon PIXMA iP1800 or iP1900 series with Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10).

Once again, my Karmic Koala makes a problem, I can’t print with Canon iP1800 series using my Karmic Koala (my printer is Canon iP1880).
I asked Mr.Google and found Edgar Ilaga’s post in Ubuntu Forums.
And then I’m repackaged Canon PIXMA iP1900 drivers from http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010647.asp, because of owner issue problem in file /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij and then modified the drivers by following the instruction from Edgar’s post.

Enough for the bullshit, let’s start…

  1. Download repackaged Canon PIXMA iP1900 :
    Download from Ziddu.
  2. Extract it : 
    tar -zxvf Canon-Pixma-iP1900-iP1800-KarmicKoala.tar.gz
  3. Enter to directory : 
    cd Canon-Pixma-iP1900-iP1800-KarmicKoala
  4. Install cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb 
    sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb
  5. Install cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb 
    sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb
  6. Plug in your Printer.

    If you are using Canon iP1900 series, it’s done. But if you are using Canon iP1800 series, we still got some steps left…

  7. Your Karmic may be show this message : Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
    Then, just choose Provide PPD file from printer installation window.
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
  8. Choose a PPD file using /usr/share/ppd/canonip1900.ppd READ UPDATE BELLOW!
  9. Change your printer name.
    Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
  10. Done! you can print with ur Canon iP1800 using ur Karmic Koala now… yay!

Thanks to Edgar Ilaga[ad#ad-post]

Update Nov 9, 2009 10:16pm :
In order to enable quality setting, please use this PPD file : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mdmldyztfoh. Download it and save in /usr/share/ppd/. Then from menu System->Administration->Printing, right click on your printer, choose properties, then change your Make and Model using this new PPD file.

    Koala. Now it’s working again.

    thank you tantos for this post, it helped me with my canon iP1900.

    Question: is there a way to change print settings (dpi, grayscale, quality) from within the print menu of an application (i.e Openoffice, Firefox, whatever)? The only way I can change those settings is from the printer properties in System -> Settings -> Printers. Its very embarassing! Is there a way to do this or is it a driver limitation? Thanks in advance!

    @Alejandro
    same-same mr. Alejandro :D (same-same is “your welcome” in indonesia) :D

    If you are using this PPD file (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mdmldyztfoh), uou should see the quality settings there.

    Thank you very much! It works also in UBUNTU 10!
    But, if I used UBUNTU 64bit, I can’t use these files.
    Is there any way to change these files ao that they would be used in a 64bit systems?
