Hi,
Again, and finally, THANKS TO REINALDO for his truly useful and helpful
methods of installing the driver IP2200 to run this universally problematic
canon printer, notoriously known as CANON PIXMA IP1300.
To help others coping up the same problem, please allow me to post here related instructions to further ease Reinaldo's method.
Let it be known, that some Linux distro do not preinstall 'alien' so please for those who run Linux versions like Ubuntu etc with .deb
you better install it now [its available through distro repos/ or
get-apt] you will need this to convert the downloadable driver
iP2200_Linux_260.tar.gz which is an .rpm package. The driver
...tar.gz contains an .rpm (red hat) that must first be converted
to .deb to install in non-rpm supported distros like Ubuntu.
Also, this driver ip2200 does not run ip1300 with only single
ink-cartridge, so you have to prepare both: Black PG-40 and
Color CL-41 cartridges, manual install them into the ip1300
printer before installing the driver so that you need not bother
any more why Test Print page fails.
Having these prepared, you may now proceed to execute
one-by-one the 8 steps given by Reinaldo in his post.
at first I did not fully understand his instruction, it seems his
language is portugues but I can only understand spanish, so
I have here included/ pasted below a translation I used in order
to safely follow his instructions.

Toei vasculhando the net and not found any recipe for how to install my printer Canon PIXMA IP1300, the only information I had and found in www.linuxprinting.org, is that it worked with the native driver of Canon IP2200.
Toei formatting my pc few times and got a result that would like to share. The steps that followed were:
1 - Download the following package [software.canon-europe.com] and extract it in a folder:
2 - Remove the file cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.src.rpm:
$ rm cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.src.rpm
3 - Open the konsole and convert the other three files left over from *. rpm to *. deb with the command:
$ sudo alien-d-c *. rpm
4 - Install the package:
$ sudo dpkg-i *. deb
5 - install the library libgtk1.2:
$ sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2
6 - fix dependencies:
$ sudo ln-s / usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 / usr/lib/libpng.so.3
$ sudo ln-s / usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 / usr/lib/libxml.so.1
$ sudo ln-s / usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 / usr/lib/libpng.so.2
$ sudo ln-s / usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 / usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
7 - set some more options to file:
$ sudo kate / usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd
Add:
* OpenUI * CNQuality / Quality: PickOne
* DefaultCNQuality: 3
* CNQuality 2/High: "2"
* CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
* CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
* CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
* CloseUI: * CNQuality
* OpenUI * Resolution / Output Resolution: PickOne
* DefaultResolution: 600
* Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</ HWResolution [600 600]>> setpagedevice"
* Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</ HWResolution [1200 1200]>> setpagedevice"
* Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: "<</ HWResolution [2400 2400]>> setpagedevice"
* CloseUI: * Resolution
8 - Restart cups:
$ sudo killall cupsd
$ sudo cupsd
9 - Now go k menu -> System Settings -> Printers -> Add ->
Add impressora/classe--> next -> Local printer (parallel, serial, usb) ->
USB -> Canon iP1300 USB # -> Canon iP1300 -> Next
Manufacturer -> CANON Modelo -> iP2200 -> Next
It is only going through completing the required information
So I have installed the color cartridge and print it changing the colors of the sources
Sorry! but I do not know to translate the English do that if someone I appreciate.
END:
I hope this helps. Good luck.
