We need more details. Is the printer attached to the Linux computer or is it a Windows shared printer, etc. And if I may, it's pretty annoying to try to read all those ancient Egyptian heiroglyphics.

Check the printer database; http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

You could also try the manufacturer's website; http://www.canon.com.au/products/printers/colour_bj_printers/ip1800_support.aspx
-- look under "Driver Downloads"

I've never installed one of those printers, so I can't give you specific advise except for this;

1) Don't use that kde print thing, use the standard cups config program (http://localhost:631) or system-config-printer.

2) You need to install the dependency before you install the printer driver. Yes, the dependency is available from the same page I referred you to.
