According to http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP1000
you should download the driver from the canon website and follow the instructions there.
You probably need alien to install the rpm packages.
Write an e-mail to Canon and ask them to provide open source drivers so we can include them in Ubuntu.

I need a printer driver for Canon Pixma iP1000 for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Can anyone point me to the right driver? I checked the above link and it is not there.

Working solution for lots Canon printers and multifunctions is described here: http://ubuntuportal.com/how-to-install-canon-printer-driver-for-linux-ubuntu/
All Canon printer drivers also will be included into official Baltix GNU/Linux software repository - http://ftp.akl.lt/Linux/Baltix/Baltix-Ubuntu-packages/

Mantas, would you be so kind and tell me how could I use Baltix repository for my Ubuntu? Should I add some kind of PPA to Synaptic?

Can you help with this problem?
