Bought a canon laser printer MF4350d recently. Tried to add the printer using System - Administration - Printing. Unfortunately it doesnt have a driver for it. Also it tried searching, but no luck. Did anybody successfully got this printer installed and configured to work with ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala?

Download driver file Canon_UFRII_Linux_V1.90_EN.tar.gz from http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0035665.asp?model=
 
Unzip and extract the contents of the .tar.gz
 
You will find the following two files
 
cndrvcups-common-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm
cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm
 
 
Now open terminal and run the following commands
 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alien
 
Now in the terminal window, goto the directory containing the extracted files (cndrvcups-common-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm and cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm)
and enter the following command
 
sudo alien -k cndrvcups-common-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm
this will generate cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_amd64.deb
 
and
 
sudo alien -k cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-1.90-1.x86_64.rpm
and it generates cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-1.90-1.x86_64.deb
 
Now open the above files containing folder from file manager, choose the .deb files generated above, right click and choose install
 
and  now goto System->Administration->Printing
 
Now choose "Add the Printer" and it will automatically detect and show the right driver. Install and enjoy printing.
