Canon pixma ip3300 with CUPS

[dietmar]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

well, since I have changed from hardy heron to intrebid ibex 4.2 I have the mess with my printer canon pixma ip3300. the driver works correct with fitting pages, also black/white, but not with colors. The test print shows that every color print is not on right position and size. changing with CUPS from driver canon pixma 3000 up to others is without any positiv result. at the ubuntuusers-forum there was existing a patch for a self-made-driver for this printer, but this link is inactive..... is there a chance to solve this problem in CUPS?

Which PPD/driver did you use in Hardy and which one did you get in Intrepid?

I have founded the old file at the ubuntu-forum of the driver I used in past:

after strictly going mad about this driver I have found an idea on the german ubuntuusers printerdatabase: The bloody canon pixma works with the driver of canon bjc-7000 cups+gutenbrink v5.2.0-rc1 of the actual CUPS driverdatabase! the problem is solved! yeah!

Converting to a question.
Openprinting has a user contributed entry that recommends the same driver for this printer: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP3300
