IP4300 driver for Kubuntu 7.10

[Willis Taylor]

I'm new to Kubuntu but I found an article when searching for a driver for my IP4300 Canon printer.  I downloaded the tar file and the following is my attempts to install it from the instructions.  The exact address of the tar file is /home/<user name>/downloads if that is needed.  Thank you for your help in advance.  I know it's tough to deal with long time windows converts.
