I have a similar problem with an iP1500 under Kubuntu.  Everything I've 
found that supposedly works with Linux is rpm-based (not so much a 
problem) and 32-bit (which is, I run the 64-bit version of Kubuntu).

I even went to the trouble of installing VirtualBox and WinXP 'cos I 
have a CD-ROM with the Windows drivers on!

Of course, now I have the problem that Kubuntu recognises the hardware 
but can't talk to it and WinXP has a bright shiny driver but can't see 
the USB port!!!  (Grrrrr)
