Hi I wonder if someone can help?I am new to this group and to Open Suse but not new to Linux as I am using Ubuntu & Kubuntu.and have also trialed Fedora 14.
I am trying to install the Linux RPM Drivers& The CUPS Driver for this Printer which I have found on the Canon Asia site .The Printer has been reccognised by the Os but when I try to install them I get a message that the installation has failed because libgdk-1.12.so.0 is not installed?These Drivers installed without difficulty in Fedora??
Any help appreciated Michael
Do you have the package gtk (not gtk2 or gtk3 which you most probably
already have but just gtk which contains this old library) installed?

Since you did not provide the info if you are on 32 or 64bit and if the
driver is only 32 bit but needs to run on a 64 bit system or whatever I want
to add:
It can also be that you need the package gtk-32bit

Yes that is what I said install gtk. gtk2 is for other apps which use newer
libraries DO NOT uninstall it. Just install gtk in addition.

I have an ip3300 which replaced a i550. Since I have had the printer I have been able to install the drivers to make it work under openSuse. Unfortunately the drivers were developed for 10.3 and Canon do not seem to want to update them and so there has been a divergence between drivers and OS. With 11.4 I thought I was totally stuffed as nothing would load. After a fair bit of messing around, including using ‘similar’ CUPS drivers which were, to be honest, rubbish, I hit on the following which allowed me to install the ip3300 drivers.
**Install in order:**
**libxml-1.8.17-11 **
**bundle-lang-gnome-ar-11.2-20.21.2 **
**glib-1.2.10-740.2 **
gtk-1.2.10-1089.2
libpng3-1.2.39-2.2
**cnijfilter-common-2.70-1 **
**cnijfilter-ip3300-2.70-1
**
Your final file will be cnijfilter-i560-2.70. or which ever the printer specific driver is.*
I then went into Yast and locked the versions of all those files, There is a whinge at the moment about** **bundle-lang-gnome-ar-11.2-20.21.2 when I go to do an upgrade, to which I click ‘do not install bundle-lang-gnome-ar-11.4-5.13.1.noarch’ and all is well.
I’m just happy the printer works
