Sorry Carlos, but I use an HP Deskjet 840 and a 870c, and have no problems with printing after doing the install above. Maybe some Cannon guru will be able to help.
Have you tried to use another brand or model of printer just to see if the problem is brand/printer specific?
The only other printer I have is a nine-pin B/W ribbon printer ;-) No, it is a software issue. The behaviour of the two available drivers are different. One driver (Canon BJC-4000, Foomatic + bjc600) prints crisp text at good speed, but horrible photographs, and the other (Canon BJC-4000, Foomatic + gimp-print) print grayish text with acceptable photos (not perfect), and at a terribly slow speed. And the sample page printed from the control center is perfect! -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
