Hi!
My friend has a Canon Pixma iP1000 printer and SuSE 10.0. Is this Canon support under SuSE Linux. Is it possible to install it, please?

Sorry to repeat this but it needs doing. Canon do NOT support Linux therefore do NOT buy Canon products. I feel I can say this with some authority as I have a Canon scanner that is only now starting to get SANE support - the contributors to that project have my heartfelt thanks, as do all FOSS contributors. Canon sim[ply don't want to know unless it's MS or Apple.

This might have been one of those times. Overall, I agree with your sentiments re Canon, but in this case it seems the printer cambe before Linux, and even if not, you're berating the wrong person. If buying printers for Linux, HP makes a serious FOSS effort, Epson (inkjet at least) seems well supported, most Laser printers (including some GDI printers _not_ from Canon) work well. I'm using a Kyocera FS-920 which came with the necessary ppd for Linux (and docs to I think). Toshiba was a bit of a pain: I had to extract the PPD from a Windows driver. It's years since I fought with a Canon, but generally (for any brand) if the printer you have isn't listed, the driver from an earlier version is worth trying.
