    Good riddance. Wish I'd done it about a year ago.

    do you have a BJC4200, or a PIXMA iP4200? there's about six years between them

    this is really comfusing me...
    7. Make sure the library links are correct. /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 should point to /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 (or to the same thing as /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 points to) If not, type:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3

    This is the important part! The iP4200 driver wants to use libtiff.so.3, but that is an old version. We fix this by making libtiff.so.3 a link to libtiff.so.4.

    Also, /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 should point to /usr/lib/libpng.so If not, type:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so.3

    and /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 should point to /usr/lib/libxml.so.1 If not, type:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1
    make sure what is what?and how do i do this it doesn't tell me to open up ... and click on ... and go to ... section in ...?
    get my point?
    i just went through it as if they were pointing to whatever...
    isn't printing though and made sure its on a4...
    please help guys...

    it just puts a job into the print que and disappears...

    the linked instructions are for the 6.06 release of ubuntu. it looks the standard PIXMA option should work (whilst the canon download will probably break things). i would STRONGLY recommend against using binary drivers if you can help it - especially dodgy drivers that rely on old versions of red hat for installation

    canon aren't a company that takes linux seriously, and the only thing that i trust less than their lack of drivers is their own bodged drivers

    if you really want canon's drivers, quit titting about with those instructions, and add "deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./" to your sources via System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager/Settings/Repositories/Third Party Software/Add followed by installing libcnbj-2.6, bjfilter-2.6, and pstocanonbj packages

    Afaik ip4200 drivers are included in 7.04, they werent in 6.06 but i was plesently surprised when i tried to install my ip5200.

    Go to system, administration, printing and is the ip4200 listed there??

    EDIT: just read your post again and you say you did select the ip4200 from the list but its not working correctly.

    It also seems you need to find out what the terminal is, have a look at:

    http://linux.org.mt/article/terminal

    DW, you dont really need to learn any commands but knowing how to copy and paste commands can help!
