Hi Aviram,

I'm using 64 bit.

I fixed all the dependency problems I think (i.e. I installed the debian 
packages created by alien without any warnings). Regarding symlinks and 
instructions are you referring to:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-a-canon-all-in-one-printer-working-with-ubuntu.html

I added the symlink mentioned there (both to /usr/lib 
andĀ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/) and rebooted, but still no joy. Can you 
remember any other symlinks you needed to make?

Thanks,
EliĀ
