Unfortunately the license (those small printed letters you need to
agree) of the Canon drivers do not allow us to include these drivers
into Ubuntu.
But fortunately these kind of business machines usually support multiple
printer languages, with some input from you we could consider adding this
printer to the foomatic-db with what you (after some testing) think is the best
open/free licensed driver. By doing this your printer will be automatically
detected in future Ubuntu versions.
I looked up the specifications of the ir3035 on the canon website and this
model should support PCL 6/5e using the UFR II/PCL Printer Kit-S1 board with
optional PS Printer Kit-S1 for PostScript 3 Emulation.
If you have the optional PS kit, you should be able to use the PPD file from
Canon (or Generic > PostScript).
If you don't have the PS kit please try the different PCL 6/5e drivers offered
under the manufacturer "Generic". Especially try the PCL-6/XL printer with
"Foomatic/pxlmono" and the PCL-5e printer with "Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e".
Which driver gives the best print quality and which the best printing speed and
does it offer you all the printing options you need? How do these compare to
the original Canon driver?
