I bought a Canon printer and can't get it to connect with Ubuntu. I called Canon and they said that I have to call Ubuntu to find the driver to hook it up.

You can download the drivers (for the English language) right here. This is a direct download link and will download from the Canon website. To install and unpack the tar.gz file, run tar -xvf archive.tar.gz after you cd to the directory you downloaded it to.
After you unpack the tar.gz file, cd to the unzipped file's directory (where the folder cnijfilter2-6.30-1-deb should be) and run sudo bash install.sh
If this doesn't execute the install script, enter superuser mode by entering sudo su and run ./install.sh in the same directory.
Sorry, I had to repost this.
