Sorry for not taking care of this in time. I will talk to the debian package
maintainer about it.

I build a package with a i450 driver (based on the BJC-7100 driver) and uploaded
it to:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/foomatic/

 Can you please verify that it works with the printer?

Thanks,
 Michael

A i450 description based heavily on the BJC-7100. I haven't tested it myself because I don't have this model.

Ubuntu uses the Foomatic database from www.linuxprinting.org.
If you can get your printer listed to www.linuxprinting.org it will automatically be included in the next Ubuntu release (edgy or edgy+1).
You should fill out the new printer form: http://www.linuxprinting.org/edit_printer.cgi?newentry=1 to let the people at www.linuxprinting.org know that your printer works with the bjc800 driver. As an owner of this printer you are one of the few people who can provide the necessary information.

I still do not see this driver in the list in Feisty. But it's on this page: http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi .

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20090617-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20090617-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Many new printer models added (Fixes: LP: #10871, LP: #83960,
      LP: #114681, LP: #121060, LP: #258058, LP: #273975, LP: #343444,
      LP: #371737).
    - More user-friendly UI strings for the "Print Quality" option in some
      Brother PPD files (LP: #141487).
    - Replaced broken PPD for the Kyocera FS-9100DN by the one for the
      FS-9120DN (LP: #344691).
    - Added "*cupsFilter:" lines to all PCL-XL PPD files from Ricoh and OEM
      so that they accept PDF as input format. This assures that always the
      most straightforward CUPS filter chain gets used and interferences
      between filters (like LP: #361772) get avoided.
    - Removed "Black and White" Color Mode (1 bit per pixel) from the
      "cdj550" driver. This mode is not supported by the driver (LP: #337133).
    - DesignJet driver assignement fixes, new "cdnj500" driver.
    - Correction of auto-detection strings.
    - Addition of CUPS custom option definitions to the PPDs from Ricoh
      family and OEM.
    - New "pxldpl" driver entry for the Dell 3010cn and Dell DPL printers
      in general.
  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Driver entries removed for drivers which are not shipped by Ubuntu
    - Fixed manufacturer-supplied PPDs: "*CloseUI <option>" ->
      "*CloseUI: <option>", "*1284DeviceId" -> "*1284DeviceID".
    - openprinting-ppds-extra package with PPDs from Ricoh family and OEM
      and non-English PPDs from Kyocera
    - Linked PPD files with Foomatic database, so that links in the Foomatic
      XML files keep working.
    - Removed link into /usr/share/cups/model, it makes PPDs appearing
      twice.
    - debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed workaround for Ghostscript
      crashing when feeding bjc600/bjc800 drivers with PDF. The Ghostscript
      shipped by Ubuntu is fixed.
    - foomatic-filters-ppds discontinued upstream, updated debian/control
      appropriately.
    - foomatic-db does not make sense without foomatic-db-engine and
      foomatic-filters, made the Recommends: a Depends:.
