On Lucid, I could first not install the packages from the asian Canon
site, mentioned above.

Using --force-depends ...

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture --force-depends 
cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture --force-depends 
cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_i386.deb

...got them installed, and my iP2600 printer working, but also left the
system with broken packages... Meaning I can't install or upgrade
anything while having a working printer...

$ LANG=C sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  cnijfilter-common: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1)
  cnijfilter-ip2600series: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

The "Provides" is there, but it does not seem to help, as suggested in
comment #13 above... Any "--accept-provides" switch out there or
similar?
