Have you added the printer? Are there any recommended drivers in the add printer section?
If not you can check here for drivers: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting

I have checked out the website you have posted, the printer is not listed there. The only printer listed is the MP460 to which they refer me to "Turbo Print" - I have installed turbo print free version and it works - exccept for the large icon on the page.

I Thought that the canon euorpe had a print driver for the MP450 - but i can not find it?

I still don't know if there is still a free work around or not

Thanks

Canon has a driver for the MP450, but unfortunatly that is a windows driver.

In Ubuntu 10.04 the driver for the Pixma MP220 seems to work just fine. Printer (connected to Apple's Airport Express) produces test page with good colours. Also tested with various other documents, like webpages and spreadsheets.

MP170 driver works for me in Ubuntu 10.04. Possibly MP150 and MP220 too.

Can you help with this problem?
