Finaly, i have made my printer (Pixma iP1700) can work with ubuntu 7.04 (fesity fawn)

Using iP2200 driver for linux, now iP1700 can print smoothly.

But im not using packages from the vendor, instead im using the packages from this.

This is my steps how to install the driver (using terminal)
1. Add the repository
$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

-Add this 2 following lines(sources.list)
deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./
deb-src http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./

2. Update
$sudo apt-get update

3. Install packages
$sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.6 bjfilter-2.6 pstocanonbj

4.Add the printer (make sure to turn on the printer)
-From your browser, input this URL: http://localhost:631
-Choose “Administration” Menu
-Add “Canon iP1700 (Canon iP1700 USB #1)” from the list
-Add model to Canon iP2200 Ver.2.60
-Leave the configuration with click “Set Printer Options”

5.Testing printer
-Click the “Print Test Page” Button

6. Finish

I think there is no difference between packages from vendor and packages that i used.
You must change the packages first from .rpm to .deb with ‘alien’ command, if you use the packages form vendor
And you must sure to set the “Output Resolution” to 600 dpi. Change it to higher level, make printer cannot work.
