Canon PIXMA IP 2600 printer

[KagetsukiZero]

Just a heads up, I installed this printer again but CUPS didn't immediately see the drivers after install. So, close any printer manager windows that are open, then do

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

and when you open up the printer manager again, go to new, and it should find the drivers immediately.

...Greetings to all!, children at me it is a little bad with English, but постораюсь to write how to for 64 bit users of computers!
It works on 9.10 and 10.04 (64 bit) now have gone
1)http://software.canon-europe.com/sof...312.asp?model=
download IP2600_debian.tgz We unpack in a home directory

2)$dpkg-deb -x cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb common - We unpack the first package in a directory common !
3)We unpack its operating files:dpkg-deb --control cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
3)We open in the editor file DEBIAN/control and it is corrected libcupsys2 on libcups2: $gedit DEBIAN/control
4)We enclose operating files to a package:$mv DEBIAN/ common/
5)We establish on all correct rights:$sudo chown -R root.root common
6)We delete an old package:$rm cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
7)Also we create it anew:$dpkg -b common/ cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_amd64.deb(Pay attention to renaming)
8)The same for the second package:
$dpkg-deb -x cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_i386.deb ip2600
$dpkg-deb --control cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_i386.deb
$gedit DEBIAN/control (libcupsys2 on libcups2)
$mv DEBIAN/ ip2600/
$sudo chown -R root.root ip2600
$rm cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_i386.deb
$dpkg-deb -b ip2600/ cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_amd64.deb
9)We establish packages:$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_amd64.deb cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_amd64.deb

ThX, ThX ThX zhez_100 for the howto.
I'll make a howto in Dutch to place it on the Dutch Ubuntu forum. ( http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/documentatie/howto-ip-2600/ )
(I changed the amd64 in the filename in i386, no trouble with install the driver).
It works fine. (Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit)

I'm sorry, all, but i don't know what all of this means.

I have a Canon PIXMA IP 2600 printer that I just bought online to use with my newly installed Ubuntu OS. I have been a Microsoft user all my life, and I just switched over to Linux/Ubuntu about a month ago.

I really need this printer to work with my computer, but I need a bit of help(while trying to get up to speed with this excellent OS, which I really like so far.)

Would someone please explain how to get my Canon PIXMA IP 2600 to work, and in very simple to follow-along language that a Linux/Ubuntu user of about a month (like me!) can follow, understand, and make work?

Thanks very much.

Still need a bit of help, please? Any ideas about this?
