yeah - got the same problem with the ip 1800.  A friend of mine is thrilled with PCLOS (LXDE) which I set up for him to test on a notebook but I cannot get his printer up and running for him so he will probably abandon us  Embarrassed.  I don't know if this was an in-between model or only made in Europe/Asia but Canon's official site does not provide drivers (Linux).  There was a driver on the Australia site (unofficial) for a while but seems to have disappeared....  There is an ip 1700/1900 but no 1800.  I thought I might just try the next nearest to the 1800 and see what happens.

Have you tried any close models?

I would suggest using a driver model  number closest to the one you are looking for. Quite often one driver can cover many printers. Possibly try the one ABOVE you one.

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I never thought of paying for anything  Grin Grin but the trial is worth a try.

Cheers
