I'd appreciate that. I've been thinking (though I doubt it) that the
drivers are available in Ubuntu & not in Kubuntu which I use. As I said
I doubt it but would really appreciate a walk through to solve the problem.

As I wrote in an answer to KDE4 I am deliberating about Hardy. THE
reason I'm considering going to Hardy now is that I've read that it
contains Canon drivers. If I could solve the problem in Gutsy I'd be
more than happy as I don't feel I qualified to use a beta version of
Linux (too much of a newbie :-) ).
