sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon The result was the following:

kina. The issue is that this ppa does not have a Precise version. For whatever reason, the owner has not uploaded since last year for the Oneiric release. I will explain how to get the Oneiric version driver. I see no reason that it would not work for Precise, but I make no promises!
You already have the proper ppa added. Now you must change the distribution version. In the terminal enter software-properties-gtk. A menu labelled Software Sources will open (you've probably seen it before).
Left-click the "Other Software" tab. A list of all your current ppas will show up. Look through the list for " precise main". Click on that to highlight it and press the "Edit..." button below.
This will open a window labelled "Edit Source". On the list of options will be "Distribution:" and it will be set to "precise". Change this to "oneiric". Click "Ok". Enter password if prompted.
When you now check the "Other Software" tab again, you should see that "oneiric" has replaced "precise" in the ppa name. Now in terminal enter:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip100series Now if all goes well your driver will install. Hope this works well for you!
