Canon printer too fond of black

[Normand Marion]

I'm using a Canon IP5000 under 10.04 with gutenprint  5.2.5.0.

It works pretty well. But under Windows the driver gives more controls.

A mistake I did when I got that printer is to work with CMJK color set 
and got problem. I change to RGB and everything is perfect now.
