Ah I understand. I had a simular or even worse problem with my Canon i990. I couldn't print at all from SuSE 9.3 and 10.0. Then I found a driver from ZEDOnet. It is payware but if you want excellent printing results then it is worth to spend the money. There are plenty options to adjust the colors of printing. You can download a demo version for testing from www.turboprint.de . The software is called Turboprint and run fine. After installation the printer is available as CUPS printer in your network.
I second that.
Turboprint is quite cheap (40 EUR AFAICR) and it works great with a large number of printers.
My Canon i965 works perfectly with it.
Too bad it's not well supported out-of-the-box with OSS software but hey, it's cheap and show
support to a small business that has been implementing Linux printer drivers for many years ;)
And there isn't that much choice. HP inkjet printers s**k, are slow and their ink cardridges are
very expensive. Epson.. well... no OSS drivers either and I had it with Epson in the past.
Canon inkjet printers are the best (IMVHO) and, well, I see those 40 EUR as part of the printer
purchasing price ;)
Apart from that, as Manfred said, Turboprint is perfectly integrated into CUPS and has many options,
also for calibration.
cheers
