Hello,

I just spend a few hours trying to install the cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb driver on my (K)Ubuntu Maverick. The problem I had was related to the libcupsys2 which wasn’t installed on my machine. Ubuntu doesn’t support this package anymore and I couldn’t not install it when downloading it from older Ubuntu repositories. The new version of this libcupsys2 package is libcups2, therefore the cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb driver should work without any problem without installing this libcupsys2 package.

Here is what I have done to make it work:

1. dpkg -e cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb
2. cd DEBIAN/
3. kate control (or “gedit control” or edit it with your favourite text editor)
4. Changed libcupsys2 to libcups2 in the “Depends:” section and save the file
5. Remove the temp file (~) if it has been created when you saved the control file.
6. tar -czvf control.tar.gz *
7. mv control.tar.gz ..
8. ar r cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb control.tar.gz

Then install the cnijfilter-mp610series_2.80-1_i386.deb file in the usual way.

Hope it helps.

Thanks very much for your help. I now have my Canon PIXMA MP620 working with Karmic. Followed Luca’s instructions with Jaunty – which are very good – and all worked fine but then lots of frustration until I found your site. Cheers!
