I’ll repost a reply I made in relation to a Canon i560 thread. Specifically in relation to my printer at the time which was an ip3300.
"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-2.90-1
cnijfilter-ip2600-2.90-1
I then went into Yast and locked the versions of all those files, There is a whinge at the moment aboutbundle-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."
The ip2600 drivers from Canon are a little bit newer than the ones for the ip3300, but if they won’t load due to dependency issues the above may help.
