Re: cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data package unavailable for Dapper?

Ubuntu Users,

In hopes of getting a fresh start, I completely removed CUPS and all printer related drivers and then re-installed them. The problem remains the same, but some of the error output has changed.

To recap, I have a Canon Pixus iP3100, and Ubuntu Linux, Dapper Drake 6.04. This printer used to be attached to an older computer with Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10, and worked flawlessly when printing from CUPS. However, after upgrading the computer, and following the same installation procedure, the printer no longer works.

After re-installing CUPS, as I did before, I followed these installation instructions:
http://www.techbuilder.org/recipes/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=167600449&printableArticle=true

The main difference is that I have the Japanese model of the printer, so the drivers referenced in the article as being available from Canon's Japanese site actually match my printer exactly.

I installed the printer using the CUPS interface. I used the custom PPD file created following the instructions of the site. The printer was connected to my USB port and turned on when I installed it.

When I click to print a test page, the printer does not respond in any way.

In the CUPS interface, the status changes to "stopped". The "State" of the print job remains "pending" indefinitely. If I try to cancel the job, it returns the error:
Error
client-error-forbidden

I can, however, press "Cancel all jobs", then all jobs will be purged, and I can restart the printer. However, despite the printer status being started, any attempt to print will recreate the conditions outlined above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have included some output from the various commands that I have come across below. If there is anything else I can do to diagnose or solve this problem, please let me know.

dpkg-reconfigure cupsys
(I did this and went with the default options)

dave@homebase:~$ tail /var/log/cups/error_log

dave@homebase:~$ lpadmin -p Canon -v /dev/usblp0
lpadmin: File device URIs have been disabled! To enable, see the FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
(I attempted to insert a FileDevice directive in cupsd.conf prior to re-installing CUPS. Other than removing this error, it had no effect on the printer)
