Canon Mp 260 is missing driver

[eekie]

In korokaa15x64 I can't install a canon mp260 combi because no driver is available. Anybody knows where I can find a driver for this common combi type?

The driver for the MP240 is reported to work.

Or you could try the driver for the MP250.

That did not work. The driver is for 32 bits. After installing it the printer could not be added. The procedure in korokaa differs from fedora, where you can choose canon drivers from a list

Try adding the printer in CUPS.

Please tell me how I can add the printer in cups. By the way I have also a Brother HL-2140 installed, when I want to print something he starts spitting empty pages. The system simply has taken the wrong driver. I suppose a postscript driver. In Ubuntu you can pick a driver from a list. The hpijs driver is fit for the job.

I don't currently have a printer installed in Fedora 15. Just haven't had the time. See if the following is any help.
