Sounds like a driver problem to me. You could also try to update related things like cups and ghostscript.
I found that the latest version of cups at least increased the printing speed on my IP4000. I am still having problems printing the test page from the gnome printing manager, but all other applications work fine, so never mind that particular one.
In terms of printers, I am using the commercial Turbo Print. It only costs 30€ or so, and haven't given me any problem. the turbo print driver also support duplex printing, which the others might not (last time I checked Cannon's own one didn't...) |

That is a good HOWTO wyvern5, Thanks.
I will try on my AMD64 gentoo to see how it goes using your steps.
I also updated this HOWTO with latest gentoo/cups as of Jan 2008.
I plan to post both on Gentoo-wiki. |

Hello,
I also struggeled the last days to install my Canon IP4500 on my 64bit Gentoo.
I tried the Turboprint-drivers, but they cost money. I also tried the 32-bit-chroot-environment.
And today I found out a very simple and eays solution.
Gutenprint brings support for the Canon Pixma IP4500.
In Portage tree is version 5.1.4 as stable. With this version I just got empty paper out of my printer.
Then I unmasked 5.1.7 in portage tree and with that version my IP4500 works pretty well.
So, I just did the following :
| Code: |
# nano "net-print/gutenprint ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge -v gutenprint
|
And then I could create the printer in cups and selected the "Canon Pixma IP4500 - CUPS+Gutenprint 5.1.7" driver.
And it worked without any problems within 5 minutes.
I hope that information helps someone 
Bye
