Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
I installed the Canon printer driver under Jaunty (9.04) and printing to the Canon MF4140 worked perfectly. I upgraded to Karmic (9.10) and printing no longer worked. I downgraded only the hal-cups-util package and it works again. I am reporting this as a bug on cups as it seems to cover several packages. It appears the ability to execute /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal is _essential_ for canon UFR II drivers. Canon's UFR II printer driver is widely used to support their low cost printers that do not run a PDL (PS/PDF/PCL) interpreter. The installed driver package was > Canon UFR II Printer Driver for Linux. This printer driver provides printing > functions for Canon printers operating under the > CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) environment, a printing system that > operates on Linux operating systems. $> dpkg --info UFR_II_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Driver_V180_uk_EN/32-bit_Driver/Debian/cndrvcups-common_1.80-1_i386.deb new debian package, version 2.0.

As described in it's README, the package hal-cups-utils was a place holder as the ubuntu developers have mode to udev and system-config-printer-udev. This unfortunately breaks this printer driver. Checking Ubuntu Packages I found that Jaunty's hal-cups-utils might be installable. So I purged the current and downloaded and installed the previous. $> sudo ap-get purge hal-cups-utils $> sudo dpkg --force-all -i hal-cups-utils_0.6.19+git20090217-0ubuntu7_i386.deb dpkg: regarding hal-cups-utils_0.6.19+git20090217-0ubuntu7_i386.deb containing hal-cups-utils: system-config-printer-udev conflicts with hal-cups-utils (<< 1.1.10) hal-cups-utils (version 0.6.19+git20090217-0ubuntu7) is to be installed. dpkg: warning: ignoring conflict, may proceed anyway!
