Re: printing with Canon Pixma MP560
If you check the Canon Asian site, they have drivers available (although the MP560 is the MP568 on the site; once you get to the driver page it states "MP560").

Actually, here:

Look for:

MP560 series IJ Printer Driver Ver. 3.20 for Linux (debian ...

and download the file.

Use Archive manager to extract the file and then look inside the directory it created. There should be a "packages" directory with 2 .deb files.

You can use dpkg to install the files (install the common file first) and if you're on a 64-bit system use the force option to make it work (that's why I had to use dpkg in the first place).

So you issue (it's important to install ia32-libs in amd64 systems prior to installation):

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
$ sudo apt-get install libcupsys2$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture cnijfilter-common_3.20-1_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture cnijfilter-mp560series_3.20-1_i386.deb

You can also modify install.sh to add sudo dpkg --force-architecture and run install.sh instead.
