Bug description:
Similar to Bug report #54233. My old printer, an Epson D88, Parallel Port, worked OK, but it's broke and I've replaced it with a Canon PIXMA iP2600 with USB connection. The Canon printer has been installed on my Windows XP drive and works. Installing it on my Linux drive seemed satisfactory - it was discovered and the iP2000 series driver installed. If a document is selected for printing, or if I attempt to print a test page, it's put into the print queue, then after a time, I get a message that the document or test page has finished printing, but the printer hasn't budged! I've looked at the Help documentation and clicked the link to Canon's download site and downloaded the appropriate driver but the package installer tells me that this is the same driver that is already installed. I'm using the latest Ubuntu release, Jaunty.  I turned on the de-bugger under 'System, Admin, Printing' and I have an error log from attempting to print a test page.
