If you want to install Canon PIXMA MP130 Printer follow this procedure
Add the following to the /etc/apt/sources.list: Then:deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./
Then: sudo apt-get update
Cupsys will be automatically restarted and you can select printer in cupsys configuration which is sudo apt-get install libcnbj-2.5 bjfilter-2.5 pstocanonbj
To add the printer through the cups, the first thing you do is click on add a printer. The next screen will ask you for the name of you printer, location and description. The only thing you really have to fill in is the name – anything you want will do. After you have filled in the information click continue. The next page asks you to select your printer which should be Gutenprint USB Printer #1 (Canon MP130). Hit continue and then it will ask you for your driver. Select the Canon Pixma iP1500 Ver.2.50 (en) then click on add printer. Printing a test page should work! I've used the method on both Gutsy and Hardy.http://localhost:631

Thanks, that really saved some time for me ;)
Thanks for this, i've always had trouble with Ubuntu and printing, now i don't have to switch to windows to print!
thanks for this information about drivers for canon printer mp130,I am new in Ubuntu,I added the "http..//" to the sources list but I don't now what to do or what is the part of "sudo apt",can someone help me
I tried this, but apt-get gives this error:
W: Failed to fetch http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takashi/ubuntu/./Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Is the driver still there?
Thank you, Alex
luis: all the apt-get stuff is in a terminal. so open a terminal and copy&paste each line (pressing Enter after each line). You will probably be asked for you password after the first time you use 'sudo' in the terminal (sudo meaning "do as root" and root being God).
