The open driver is in the foomatic-db package but does not support credentials for accounting. This is a frequently used feature for this hi-end office printer in business environments. Accounting is provided by the proprietary driver available from Canon website, but doesn't work in Gutsy unless you make the modifications described here: http://dalbrizio.googlepages.com/how-to_#sque

Printing works great but one batch at a time. Update: Official drivers work, try following the instructions on http://v0xel.wordpress.com/2006/05/23/canoon-lbp-1120-on-ubuntu-510-how-to/

Detected correctly as Canon MP960. You have to fool the computer into thinking it's a PIXMA iP6700. Printing quality is OK for text. Pictures look a little bit washed out, but you can improve this if you change the default settings offered (brightness, contrast, saturation). Resolution locked to 600x600 DPI

v8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Detected correctly as Canon MP960. You have to fool the computer into thinking it is a PIXMA iP6700.
The iP6700 and the MP960 use the same kind of ink cartridges, but the MP960 has a seventh one (PGI-5BK Pigment Black) used for text purpose only. I believe this last cartridge is not used by the driver at all.
Printing quality is very good for text. Pictures look a little bit washed out, but you can improve this if you change the default settings offered (brightness, contrast, saturation).
Resolution locked to 600x600 DPI (this is a printer with a resolution of 9600 x 2400 DPI).
