How do I get my MX870 Canon Printer to work with ubuntu?

[Kurtus H]

Hello,

I tried the link below and it did not give any error messages so I believe that it installed the driver correctly, but when it finished installing it gives the following message:

The printer registration has not been completed.
Register the printer manually by using the lpadmin command.

I looked at the options for this and tried some, but I do not know what option to use to register the printer and if I need to reference a specific name or not.

Thanks for the help.  I think it is almost fully installed.
