I would suggest to go to www.turboprint.com and download and install their
Version 1.85 (Or better) drivers. It works very well with CUPS and supports
all the printers features (Inluding Ink Tank Status etc). I use it on FC1 with
two Canon printers (BJC-3000 & S830D). The only small drawback is that you
need to register it with $20 EURO's to use the FULL features of the driver.
(But it's worth it) Without the registration key, you can still use it, but
it's limited.
