[ubuntu-in] Using Ubuntu Server 8.10 and trying to get Canon MF 4150 work with it?

[leena at itforchange.net]

Hi all,

I have recently bought Canon MF 4150 (Scan, Copy, Fax with Duplexer) and 
trying to get it to work with machine on which I have installed Ubuntu 
server edition 8.10.
Printer is connected to this server machine.

I followed this thread "http://www.computechgroup.com/?p=559" and got 
drivers for the printer.
Got it installed as per the documentation. Printer works but in funny 
manner.
It does not recognize multi pages, and when try to print double side, it 
prints on reverse side from bottom?
I have tried to change option like : short edge bining and long edge 
binding but of no help.
This happens with .pdfs and .odts
.doc files do not print in duplex mode, it prints first page and throws 
error.

I have also tried updated version of drivers 1.70 and 1.80 but proved to 
be of no help.

I am using cups 1.39
Gosh script: 8.63

I have other machine on which I have Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (desktop version) 
and installed these drivers there, when connected to printer it prints 
ok (atleast .odt and .pdf) but when tried to route print request through 
server (using SAMBA) it is printing double sided in upside down manner.

Need help with this, has anybody had success getting this printer to 
work with Ubuntu/Linux?

Thanks,
Leena
