There is a workaround that is posted on the web. The following commands are for
Intrepid 8.10
[code]gksudo "aptitude -y install libpng3 libtiff4 cupsys alien"
cd /tmp
wget http://download.canon.com.au/bj/i250linux/bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm
wget http://download.canon.com.au/bj/i250linux/bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm
gksudo "alien --scripts bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm"
gksudo "alien --scripts bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm"
gksudo "dpkg -i bjfiltercups_2.3-1_i386.deb bjfilteri250_2.3-1_i386.deb"
gksudo "ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3"
gksudo "ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2"
gksudo "/etc/init.d/cups restart"
[/code]
The code don't actually set the printer up. You will still have to do that in
the normal way through System → Administration → Printing. When offered the
option, tell the computer to use the PPD file at
/usr/share/cups/model/canoni250.ppd.
