We will enter to the GRUB prompt

grub>

After that we must look for the location from the first time GRUB installation.

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1

the result is location where the GRUB was installed, ussualy is like this:

root(hdx,y)

Where x and y is number. Type in the GRUB prompt accordance with result, for example if the result is root(hd0,0), so we must type:

grub> root(hd0,0)

Install GRUB to hardisk MBR with this command:

grub> setup(hd0)

Why hd0? I was assumed our harddisk is primary. There is some info that showing to us if GRUB was well installed on MBR. Done, we must quit from GRUB prompt:

grub> quit

Now it’s time to add boot options for other OS, for example Windows XP.

Open terminal and then
$sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst, then add this following line :

title Windows XP
root (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Pay attention to line root (hd0,1), it means, Windows partition is in second partition (showing by number 1) and on Primary Harddisk (showing by number 0). Change that value according to condition that exist.

Back to terminal:
$sudo reboot

Now we can see GRUB again ^_^

If having the question whether will continue to used kernel that now used, typed: “yes”, afterwards when being asked about the region, typed: your country, for example “INDONESIA” (without quote)

Finish and you’re ready to use your modem.

But whether not having the other method apart from must put on black cartridge? Because in another operation systems, this printer could print although only with single colour cartridge (without black cartridge).

After read manual (User’s Guide for Print Filter Version 2.60 Canon PIXMA iP2200) I found solution for this problem. On manual, open “CIF Command” section, scroll down until you see “Ink Cartridge Settings” and open by clicking on it. This is the setting that must be added to file canonip2200.ppd in /usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd.

This is step by step instructions to configure this printer:

Beforehand install “Alien” for the conversion packaging .rpm to packaging .deb for installation in Ubuntu.

$ sudo apt-get install alien

Step 1:
Follow this link and download the archive from Canon’s website.
Don’t forget to download the documentation too.

Step 2:
Unpack the archive
$tar -xf iP2200_Linux_260.tar.gz

Step 3:
Delete an unwanted .rpm
$rm cnijfilter-common-2.60-1.src.rpm

Step 4-1:
Convert the remaining rpm’s into .deb’s
$sudo alien -d -c *.rpm

Step 4-2:
Install the .deb files
$sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Step 5:
Install libgtk1.2
$sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

Step 6:
Create symbolic links
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3

Step 7: (optional)
Configure the iP2200 ppd file
$sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd (default config works fine @ 600dpi)

Make your choices as to which detail level you require.

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: “2″
*CNQuality 3/Normal: “3″
*CNQuality 4/Standard: “4″
*CNQuality 5/Economy: “5″
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: “<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice”
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: “<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice”
*Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: “<</HWResolution[2400 2400]>>setpagedevice”
*CloseUI: *Resolution

Step 8:
Restart CUPS

$sudo killall cupsd
$sudo cupsd

Step 9:
Add your new printer

Open printing dialog in system settings
Add new printer
Choose Canon IP1300 USB # entry
When asked choose to manually choosea PPD file
browse to /usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd
Apply all settings and close wizard.

At this step, your printer is ready to work, but can’t print black colour except you add black cartridge. The next steps is the steps to make printer simulated the black colour from colour cartridge that was installed.

Step 10:

Open terminal

$sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd

Scroll down and add this line:

*OpenUI *CNInkCartridgeSettings/Ink Cartridge Settings: PickOne
*DefaultCNInkCartridgeSettings: color
*CNInkCartridgeSettings color: “Color Only”
*CNInkCartridgeSettings bk: “Black Only”
*CNInkCartridgeSettings bkcolor: “Both Black and Color”
*CloseUI: *CNInkCartridgeSettings

Save the file and restart your computer.

Step 11:

After finished added setting and restart the computer, open Printer Configuration (System*Administration*Printing) then chose Printer Options tab and confirmed at Ink Cartridge Settings was chosen “color”. Click ‘apply’ and please try to printer test Page.

It is hoped was successful. Bravo Penguin!
