Bug Description
I installed the driver (v 2.7) from Canon's web site, as well as Gutenprint 5.0.1 (initially). On testing, the test page from the CUPS (1.3) web interface looked OK on the Canon driver, but very dark on the Gutenprint driver. So after hearing about Pixma-related fixes in Gutenprint 5.1.3 I compiled and installed that version. The behavior is the same as the 5.0.1 package, at least for the test page.
Unfortunately, I can't use the Canon driver from Windows clients (for unknown reasons, jobs silently disappear). So I'd like the Gutenprint driver to work.
I have tried to adjust the gamma and brightness in applications (for instance Gimp2) but that doesn't seem to be able to fix the problem.
