i've installed turboprint also, so now i have the turboprint ppd driver and the detected one in feisty, neither work very well but turboprint behaves a little better.

the normal driver with ubuntu not only prints badly and sometimes in the wrong place but also the paper settings don't match the canon paper settings that the printer should have. it has entries for 3 cds, but the canon ip4000 has a cd printing plate that is a set size, so you can't print any discs with these option the ubuntu driver is giving. the turboprint driver offer cd recommended and cd other, both the set size to print in the right place. the ubuntu driver doesn't give either of these options and instead gives sizes for the cd which are then in the wrong place for printing...

it's a print nightmare, i've had to instead use my mac to print from, which also detects the ip4000 itself without a proprietary driver from canon (they don't provide one for mac), yet cups on the mac is fine and prints great and has the right paper types etc...

can someone please fix this up thanks so much
