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 :
   Then, just choose Provide PPD file from printer installation window.
   
8. Choose a PPD file using /usr/share/ppd/canonip1900.ppd READ UPDATE BELLOW!
9. Change your printer name.
   
10. Done! you can print with ur Canon iP1800 using ur Karmic Koala now… yay!

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.
