Yet the links you give are basically just reprints of the same information.

http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/ The author site compare to this >>
http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/04/howto-install-your-canon-pixma-mp130.html   This is a pure copy of the instructions at the author right up to using the web interface.   Notice no link if these instruction don't work refer here something might have altered.   So is pure junk and in future could leave users stuck.  Duplication was not required. 

A little general guide to read takushi style instructions and use them would have been more productive covering more printers in one hit.  Ie for takushi instructions sudo before apt-get and so on.

"System > Administration > Printing, Add Printer, Select from List"  Is the old instructions by takushi by the way.  The current one is go to the cups web interface itself.   There is a reason.   The graphical front end happens not to work dependably.

So the other instructions in the forum are out of date junk as well.

Danila Sentiabov the information you provide is either clone data or out of date garbage.

Here is the funny part of all this there was never any reason to go to the command line.   Adding a repository can be done graphical.  Updating repository can be done graphical.   Package installs can be done graphical.

Yet not one of those links you provided was about doing it a more newbie friendly way.  Instead clone rewrite a few words.   Don't provide reference link.  So take full credit for solution.

Basically I am purely sick lot of the Ubuntu people behavior.

Don't presume I have not investaged those links I have.  Danila Sentiabov  They are garbage because in my eyes they are nothing more than plagiarism.  Taken credit for other peoples work.

Danila Sentiabov  Can you truthfully give my any good reason for not include a link to takuski site saying that the information in post is taken from there and rewritten in simpler form?   Ie given credit and direction to source.  At least that way if something changes person reading you instructions know where the source was from and stands a changes of solving problem.

Any people not prepared to give credit where credit is due produce what I class as garbage.   Items that will see people screwed.

Now if you had given a blog post or a forum post that correctly provided link to source of their information I would not have ripped into you Danila Sentiabov.

Ubuntu people need to lift their game on giving credit.
