Unfortunately your printer is not supported on Linux. The lsusb output reveals that the printer contains only a "Vendor specific" interface, this is kept secret by Canon and they do not release programming information for this.
Support for this printer would need to be implemented by cups or one of its drivers, however I would not expect this to happen without some kind of change in Canon's policy. My recommendation would be that your friend return the printer to the store as "not fit for purpose" (or their home country's similar laws) and purchase a different one. Several recommendations are available on http://www.linuxprinting.org/ ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: udev => cupsys Importance: Medium => Wishlist Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Canon MPC200 USB not detected https://launchpad.net/bugs/51961 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
