[MButterman]

I tried the and this was the output:

Thanks the info and any help you can provide

Sorry, I cannot help you with this one. I took the 32-bit packages and just modified dependencies in them.

What you could try is to find 64-bit packages from the same Asian Canon site and follow this tutorial to change the dependencies.

ldd: ./cifip2600: No such file or directory

&

The printer's state message is: '/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed'.

in the printer troubleshooter.

I'm running AMD64, Ubuntu 10.04, the ldd command is the only one that failed, and then the pstocanonij failing. No printer activity.
(total newbie to Linux, Windows user since 3.11 when I was 8 and really wanted to expand my horizons.)

any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

try this

sudo ln /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstocanonij

with the 64bit system, the lib files are in lib64 and the canon drivers are 32 bit drivers, so they look in /usr/lib so you create a symbolic link as above to tell the system to look in lib64

we hope that works

[inverse-ion]

same errors as before after running that, any additional suggestions would be great!

[pdc]

open a terminal

cd /usr/lib/cups/filter

ls

cd

cd /usr/lib64/cups/filter

ls

please copy and paste the results od the two ls commands

so pstocanonij is in /usr/lib/cups/filter

whereas your 64 bit system is looking in /usr/lib64/cups/filter

if you copied and pasted this

cd /usr/lib/cups/filter

and pressed ENTER

and then copied and pasted this

sudo cp /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter

that is aiming to copy the file pstocanonij into the comparable directory in lib64

linux is for adults so I am suggesting and it is your system; it should be fine and you can delete the file if it does not help

[inverse-ion]

ah, you fixed my newb-ish issues! thank you very much.
As I said though, Windows user since Windows 3.11 (circa 1994) which makes me 24 now. I learned how to type on a monochrome Apple II, so I'm no stranger to the "other" guys, there is just quite a bit more to Linux than anticipated. Perhaps I should join the local LUG.

[pdc]

delighted to hear your printer is now working; my comments about linux were just to mean: I suggest; you carry them out; if any problems, I hope not to attract too much blame!

enjoy your printer: great to hear it is now working; do look out for a local LUG: usually a friendly, and mixed bunch of users of many ages!

best wishes
