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:~$ sudo getlibs -p libglib1.2ldbl

(try)
goran@tinel:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
goran@tinel:~$ printuiip1800 (error: libxml.so.1)
goran@tinel:~$ sudo getlibs -l libxml.so.1
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
