Ubuntu 9.10 Install Cannon LBP3000

Situation:
Network Cannon LBP 3000 printer connected to remote machine in the Windows domain

Task:
Be able to use the printer from the Ubuntu 9.10 amd6. Ubuntu host is not in the Windows domain

Problems:
No predefined drivers for LBP3000 in the Ubuntu 9.10 installation.

Solution:
- Download the most fresh drivers from the Cannon website (use Australian website). In my case version 2.00.x
- There are 2 .deb files for i386 in the installation archive.
- To install them use
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i <.deb file>
- Restart CUPS
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
Go System->Printing->Add PrInter->Windows Printing via SAMBA
Specify smb:// path to the printer
Specify Authentication. Username with Domain if needed
