Updated October 19 2011 to use never version drivers. Works on Debian and LMDE too.

Tired of wasting money buying ink-jet cartridges that run out without even using them, I recently bought a Canon ImageCLASS MF4270 Laser Printer. It is also a multifunctional device with scanner, copier and fax.

Canon now provides .deb files for easy installation of their ImageCLASS MF4270 printer on Ubuntu Linux (or other debian based distributions). Unfortunately they are only providing them for i386 (32 Bit Systems)

For RPM based distributions however, they do provide 64-Bits installation files.

Using alien I converted these 64bit RPM to deb.

I am making them available here for your convinience:

• cndrvcups-common_2.20-2_amd64.deb
• cndrvcups-ufr2-us_2.20-2_amd64.deb

Dont forget to set the device URI to: socket://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9100 (x’s being the IP address of printer)

UPDATED Jul 23/2011

Finally we have a native 64bit Flash 11. It is working very well, I highly recommend it.

Before installing it, make sure that previous versions of Flash and nspluginwrapper are uninstalled.

Download it from:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz
untar, copy and link  libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins by doing the following in the terminal. (make sure you close Firefox first)

tar zxvf flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/

Done!

Or, alternatively (you should always read and understand scripts before running them) you can do this installation just by copying and pasting the following in the terminal:

wget https://blog.alejandrocuervo.com/downloads/flash_x64_en.sh && sudo chmod +x flash_x64_en.sh && sudo sh ./flash_x64_en.sh

This script will install Native 64 Bit Flash 11 and will also remove previous versions of flash and “nspluginwrapper”
Note: If you just want to see the code for the script, it is available here:
https://blog.alejandrocuervo.com/downloads/flash_x64_en.sh
