Canon MP630 driver problems with Ubuntu Jaunty (continued)

Hope your camp down south was successful, Nick although I seem to 
remember it was
a wet and windy weekend.

After downloading the Canon drivers found at: 

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031301.asp

Opening  MP630_debian_drivers.tar and installing:

scangearmp-common_1.20-1_i386.deb     and
scangearmp-common-mp630series_1.20-1_i386.deb

The scanner became accessible with scangearmp which is a fair 
replacement for xsane which still does not recognise the scanner.    I'm 
happy with that.

So that's good news but I still need some serious help with printing if 
possible please.

MP630_debian_drivers.tar also contains printer drivers.
I've installed

cnijfilter-common_3.00-1_i386.deb    and
cnijfilter-mp630series_3.00-1_i386.deb

Chnaged directory to:   
DebDriversMP630/DebianPrinterMP630/cnijfiltercommontar
and endeavoured to change the printing driver to ppd by executing:

./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd
 (copying a procedure from Ubuntu Forums which was claimed to work)

Which produced the following:

./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 1: *PPD-Adobe:: 
command not found
./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 2: *%: command not found
./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 3: *%: command not found

./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 8: *%: command not found
./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 8: either: command not 
found
./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 9: syntax error near 
unexpected token `at'
./cnijfilter-common-3.00/ppd/canonmp630.ppd: line 9: `*%  (at your 
option) any later version.'

This didn't seem right, didn't work anyway, so I tried the Cups 
Administration 'modify printer' section
 which allowed me to browse to canonmp630.ppd and install it that way.

This produced the message:

Printer State: Idle - Unable to open device 
"hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4a9_172e_12CEC8_if1_printer_noserial": 
Permission denied

If this is only a permissions problem, how is it resolved? It seems I'm 
nearly there?

I apologise for this long winded post but I'm stumped.
