Your distribution probably has Gutenprint available with it, which you
can install with the package manager.  The iP7250 was supported as of
Gutenprint 5.2.10; the SX200 has been around much longer.

If your distribution doesn't have Gutenprint 5.2.10 or newer, you'll
need to build and install it from source, which we can assist with.
