With the multiarch changes in Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 and the newer
cnijfilter packages, the situation is far better:

$ sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb 
cnijfilter-ip3600series_3.00-1_i386.deb
[]
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cnijfilter-common:i386:
 cnijfilter-common:i386 depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1).

Basically, libcups2 should have a 'provides' entry advertising
libcupsys2 to retain compatibility with these older (2010) drivers.

It'll be extremely hard to change the published Canon driver drivers
short-term. Sadly, the open-source drivers are still feature and quality
incomplete, so today, we need to use the vendor drivers for a complete
solution.
