Public bug reported:
I've been using the Canon drivers for printing on my Pixus MP540 and IP4500 for
a couple years now, but now trying to print on either using those drivers
results in failed printing. For the IP4500 I was able to switch to GutenPrint
drivers which make it work, but unfortunately there aren't open source drivers
for the MP540. On attempting to reinstall the MP540 drivers, I get the
following package errors:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb
[sudo] password for theron:
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

Evidently the system packages are too new for the Canon deb files? Is
this a simple matter of creating some soft links in the /usr/lib
directory, or do I need to downgrade the system files to a version that
will work with the Canon drivers? I checked the Canon drivers here:
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010641.asp and their last
release (3.0) was 04-12-2008, so I'm working with the newest version of
their files available.
Thanks for your time and consideration. I'm looking forward to hearing
back.
