12.04 & Canon printer

[Chris Robinson]

I believe the drivers now get installed with cups, so you should delete your existing printer and re-install it.  If the drivers have not been included then you should look at Michael Gruz PPA on launchpad to see if the driver is there:

https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon

though it seems that all of these drivers now get installed with cups (I don't think Michael has updated the PPA to work with 12.04 because of the cups update)
