Ubuntu 11.10 and Cannon 640 Printer

Follow Problem Posted by Renk81 on Dec 18, 2011

Pretty sure the culprit it Ubuntu 11.10... but after reinstalling to 11.10 from 11.4 my printer no longer works...

Error message when try to print a test: There is a missing print filter for printer "Cannon-MP640"

Printer State in Settings:
Idle - File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij" not available: No such file or directory

Any idea where this file is supposed to come from?
