| It would seem that the following currently does not work, although the i850 worked with a similar approach under Breezy. For now, when using Dapper, just choose Canon BJC-7000 driver when using Canon i850. |
The Canon BJC-7000 driver is the easy solution, just choose it from the K->System Settings->Printing->Add new printer menu, but for the best results use the following recipe to use Canon's drivers. |

Here I plan on listing all of the hardware I have and how to get it working under Ubuntu/Kubuntu. The information is based on threads on www.ubuntuforums.org , other wiki-pages and my own experimenting.
Ralink Wireless Card w/WPA
This card is supported out-of-the-box in Dapper Drake, and what is even better is that the card's driver supports WPA! Yup, no need to use WPA_supplicant, but you will need to use a GUI that supports WPA (for example KWlan) or make the following changes to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto ra0 iface ra0 inet dhcp pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid "youressid" pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed pre-up iwpriv ra0 set Channel=6 pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="yourpassword" pre-up iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0 ifup ra0
The changes you will have to make is to essid and WPAPSK and Channel, but also possibly to EncrypType if you use AES.
Canon i850 Printer (usb)

You will need alien installed (converts rpm files to deb) and wget (downloads the rpms) and libpng and libtiff3g. Unfortunately libtiff3g is not available in the normal Dapper repositories so we have to add a line to our /etc/apt/sources.list.
sudo echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install alien wget libpng3 libtiff3g sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
After this is done you should remove the last line from your /etc/apt/sources.list to prevent problems. Currently you need to download rpms and convert to deb-packages to get this printer working. Get the necessary files:
wget ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/bjfiltercups-2.2-1.i386.rpm wget ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/bjfilterpixus850i-2.2-1.i386.rpm
Then you can convert the files with the following commands:
sudo alien -c bjfilterpixus850i-2.2-1.i386.rpm sudo alien bjfiltercups-2.2-1.i386.rpm
Install the deb packages:
sudo dpkg -i bjfilterpixus850i_2.2-2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i bjfiltercups_2.2-2_i386.deb
You will need to restart CUPS to see the drivers in the list, run the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Now add the printer, in Gnome this is done via System > System Settings > Printing or in KDE via System Settings > Printing. The printer is listed as Canon (brand( and PIXUS-850i (model). Print a test page to ensure it works.
