canon pixma mp270

[brotell]

I have just bought another printer a canon pixma mp270 my problem is as follows.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 but the printer is not being recognised to allow me to print.
I tried with my laptop using Vista and all works great.
I am assuming that I need some form of driver to get things going, Ubuntu saw that I had a printer connected but when I tried to print all I am getting is loading the print job then nothing.
Any help will be appreciated.

A look at openprinting.org shows this driver.
