   I spent some more time on this issue. It appears, that printers
   behave differently, depending on which tool I use to set them up.

   As printers set up with the "gnome-cups-manager" in Ubuntu 6.06 are
   not manageable from cupsys, I removed those completely and set them
   up via the http://localhost:631/ interface pointed out by you.

   Now, locally printing I get the quarter sized test page with a
   resolution of 300 DPI and a full sized test page when setting is
   600 DPI. Establishing a remote printer via the CUPS configuration
   yields the same results. Printing from OpenOffice Writer is also OK
   at 600 DPI.

   As opposed to Hugo, the setting "sticks". So I can print now, if at
   a somewhat higher ink rate.

   If I print to the CUPS configured printer from "gnome-cups-manager"
   it does the skewy print on 300DPI and tries a decent test page with
   600DPI but hangs at about a third of the page showing, then freezes
   and has to be killed.

   Should you need any more samples, just say so.

   P.S. Printing to a 5" CD also works nicely

Let's please have this discussion on gimp-print-devel, since I'm not
the Canon lead developer...

I notice that Sascha turned off 300 DPI on this printer earlier today,
presumably because of precisely this issue.  If you're having problems
at 600 DPI, we need to know about it.
