Racy has a control panel on the desktop. It has an option for setting up a printer. However, Wary 522 had significant problems with printing and I expect that they are also in Racy 522. Read here.

Glad to help.
Have you tried scanning yet? I don't believe that your unit will be detected by Xsane, so I have posted the Canon scanning software here.

For the benefit of other users, could you clarify some things?
1. What Puppy version are you using?
2. What is the correct model name of the first printer? Is it an i80 or an iP80?
3. I'm assuming that you used a Gutenprint driver when you did the install in CUPS. Which model did you choose for each printer?
I have posted above the official Canon iP90 driver. It may yield better quality output than the Gutenprint driver.
