can't get canon pixma ip1500 to work in 9.10

[ucbts]

i'm trying to follow the instructions laid out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=487890, but i'm unable to install pstocanonbj. i get an error message saying
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pstocanonbj: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.3)

any ideas what do do from here?

I'll tell you my story, as I struggled with this problem.
0. install libcups2-dev: sudo aptitude install libcups2-dev
1. add to the sources.list "deb http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./" and "deb-src http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ubuntu ./"
2. install libcnbj and bjfilter: sudo aptitude install libcnbj-2.5 bjfilter-2.5
3. install dpkg-dev: sudo aptitude install dpkg-dev
4. get sources of pstocanonbj: apt-get source pstocanonbj
5. set current dir to pstocanonbj-3.3/ : cd pstocanonbj-3.3/
6. configure it: ./configure
7. make it: make
8. install it: sudo make install
9. copy or link pstocanonbj filter from "/usr/local/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonbj" to "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonbj"
enjoy!

Thank you so much!

I'm now fiddling around with Linux for 2 years and have never got my iP1500 to work - not even with takushi's instructions...

Googling the pstocanonbj-install error above, i found this thread and just followed your steps.

It Works!!!!

Hi there, again I am not to savy with ubuntu but quickly learning, i am getting the identical error as sosky, but I am also fussy on the rest of the steps after there... any help would be much appreciated.

I'm glad I could help.

You Certainly Did!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting lucid running here on my parents' computer with their old Canon Pixma MP130. Was having no success with the installation as I couldn't get the iP1500 driver installed. Your solution worked great! Many thanks.

Many thanks mate, I was about to give up on my mp130 and thanks to your ip1500 installation guide it works like a charm now
