Yes... like the title, here's the step :
1. Download the Canon iP1980 driver from here and here
2. And now repackage it using "dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb" and yes... it's said that the package needed libcupsys2... and Hey Canon!!!! That package is obsolete and have been changed by libcups2!!!! What a shame for a big company like Canon that didn't have time for updating their driver.
3. But it doesn't meant we giving up right!!! What we need now is just changing the dependency from Canon OLD DRIVER!!! we just have to remove the libcupsys2 and change it to libcups2
4. First of all you will need to extract the .deb to a temporary directory (tmpdir) "dpkg-deb -x cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb tmpdir"
5. Then we are going to pull the control file that is located in the tmp/DEBIAN/ folder. This is where you will make your dependency changes "dpkg-deb --control cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb"
6. Edit the control file using your favorite text editor "vim tmpdir/DEBIAN/control"
7. Just remove the "libcupsys2" and change it to "libcups2"
8. After edit the control file, now you can repackage it using "dpkg -b tmpdir new-name-of-package.deb"
9. Just do "dpkg -i new-name-of-package.deb"
10. Do the same thing with the cnijfilter-ip1900series_3.00-1_i386.deb.
For you guys who don't want to bother with the "repackaging issue" you guys can download the driver from here and here
