Printer drivers for other Canon i series printers

You can get official Canon drivers for your i series printers here:

ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/

You need the "bjfiltercups"-rpm and the matching "bjfilterpixusXXXi"-rpm ( where XXX is the model number of your printer and "pixus" is the way they call those printers only in Japan ).
When during install you get dependency problems relating to "libpopt.so.0" install the "popt" package and do:

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libpopt.so.1 /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0

And try the install again.
When both packages are installed successfully you have to restart cups and set your printer up to use the new drivers.

How To Install

Login as root and installing with command:

$ cp -f foomatic-rip /usr/bin
$ chown root.root /usr/bin/foomatic-rip
$ chmod 755 /usr/bin/foomatic-rip
$ ln -sf /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
$ rpm -Uvh bjfilter*
$ /etc/init.d/cups restart

After installing, you must restart cups service to get the driver recognized by cups. Another step is configuring it. Unfortunately,

WARNING : Do not configure it with printing configuration ship with PINUX because that driver not registering himself to foomatic db. We must configure it through cups web base configuration. Open the browser, pointing it at 'http://localhost:631' and try to configure that printer.

Update: I added files for printer PIXMA IP1500, PIXUS IP3100, PIXUS IP4100 and PIXUS IP8600. For install process I think same as with PIXMA IP1000.
