Install the printer through CUPS http://localhost:631/ or
through "System Settings" -> "Printers" -> Add printer -> ip1800
goran@tinel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

try all binaries in /usr/local/bin/ and get missing libs:
goran@tinel:~$ cngpijmonip1800 (error: libpng.so.3)
check if you already have higher verson in /usr/lib32/ and just link-it
goran@tinel:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libpng12.so.0.15.0 /usr/lib32/libpng.so.3
goran@tinel:~$ cngpijmonip1800 (error libgtk-1.2.so.0)
getlibs it
goran@tinel:~$ getlibs -l libgtk-1.2.so.0

goran@tinel:~$ cngpijmonip1800 (error libgmodule-1.2.so.0)
goran@tinel:~$ getlibs -l libgmodule-1.2.so.0
goran@tinel:~$ sudo getlibs -p libglib1.2. ("E: No packages found")
(find package name)
goran@tinel:~$ apt-cache search libglib (libglib1.2ldbl)

goran@tinel:~$ lgmonip1800 (error: libtiff.so.3)
goran@tinel:~$ sudo getlibs -l libtiff.so.3
goran@tinel:~$ sudo getlibs -p libtiff

check soft-links and packages names - ln and getlib
goran@tinel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

Hopefully works like it does for me.
I was reading forums like meny others and for two days I was
frustrated and canon-angry.
I downloaded Turboprint http://www.zedonet.com/en_p_turboprint.phtml
It's working straight away, and was prepared to pay, it's not much and it's O.K.
But to pay for driver as much what I payed for printer just to be able to get it
work, ...
Then I sumbled on Getlibs - Cappy post on http://ubuntuforums.org
Thanks Cappy

Solaris specific

Using fdisk make 'Sun disklable'

• fdisk /dev/sdb
• s (create new empty Sun disklable)
• d (delete (linux) partitions)
• n (add a new partition)
• l (list known partition types)

Something like:

• /dev/sdb1.......0....279...140616..2..SunOS root
  
• /dev/sdb2..u..279....580...151704..3..SunOS swap
  
• /dev/sdb3.......0..17660..8900640..5..Whole disk
• /dev/sdb7.....580...1629...528696..4..SunOS usr
• /dev/sdb8....1629..17660..8079624..8..SunOS home

To mount sdb8 :

• mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt -t ufs -o ufstype=sun,ro
  

ddrescue restore

'New HDD' in USB-Drawer (e.g. 'sdb').

Using fdisk or gparted or ....
make same number and type of partitions as for 'p.table.txt'
just biger in size and set the bootable flag.

Restore partitions:

• drescue /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img /dev/sdb1
• drescue /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_2.img /dev/sdb2
• drescue /mnt/hdd3/bkup/sdb_1.img /dev/sdb3

Restore MBR just not the table (different disks - different tables)

• dd if=/mnt/hdd2/bkup/mbr.img of=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=446

Check it:

• fsck /dev/sdb1
  

ddrescue backup

ddrescu with some 'live-cd' (e.g. 'INSERT')
Hdd to rescue/backup is in USB-Drawer (e.g. 'sdb').
Where to backup (e.g. ntfs 'hdd2/bkup/')

Mount 'where to backup' :

• ntfs-3g /dev/hdd2 /mnt/hdd2

Copy-paste sdb-part.-table to some text-file (e.g. 'p.table.txt') :

• fdisk /dev/sdb
  
• p (to 'print' the table)
• copy, paste and save to '/mnt/hdd2/bkup/p.table.txt'

MBR backup :

• dd if=/dev/sdb of=/mnt/hdd2/bkup/mbr.img count=1 bs=512

Partitions backup (not a whole disk) :

• ddrescue /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img
• ddrescue /dev/sdb2 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_2.img
• ddrescue /dev/sdb3 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_3.img

If it's to big :

• ddrescue /dev/sdb1 | gzip -9 > /hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img.gz

Check it :

• mkdir /mnt/1
• losetup /dev/loop3 /mnt/hdd2/bkup/sdb_1.img
• fsck /dev/loop3 (? not sure)
  
• mount -t ext3 /dev/loop3 /mnt/1/
  
• umount /dev/loop3
• losetup -d /dev/loop3
