I am currently using SUSE 11.1(64) KDE4.2, with a Canon ip1800 printer.
I have installed both of the canon files: 1. cnijfilter-common…, and 2.cnijfilter-ip1800series…
I installed the first one using rpm -ivh, and it didn’t have too many dependencies, so I found those and installed successfully.
I installed the second one, by making my own repository and using YAST because, there were a lot of dependencies. Yast found them, and it installed sucessfully.
I now have a printer showing up in the print configuration, however, it still will not print. I tried using the CUPS webstie as well, and it lists it, but it will not print.
I am totally out of ideas, after about 5-6 hours of messing with it.

With a 64 bit system you need to link the Canon filter in /usr/lib/
to /usr/lib64. Below is an example, check the name of your Canon filter
in /usr/lib/cups/filter to make sure it’s the same as below.
su
ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter
