The model name "Canon MP610" is amgiguous
because this manufacturer has two different
devices with "MP610" in its names:

Canon MULTIPASS-MP610
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MULTIPASS-MP610

Canon PIXMA MP610
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP610

When I enter "610" as the model info in YaST
and then press [Show matching drivers],
I get a driver for the "Canon PIXMA MP610"
but no driver for the "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610"

But the "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610" should be also supported
by the gutenprint driver according to
http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MULTIPASS-MP610
so that - if you have a "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610" - you may have
to select a compatible model which leads me to
http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php
to have a closer look and there I find this entry:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Printer Model      Driver Name	        Foomatic Name
Canon PIXMA MP610  bjc-MULTIPASS-MP610  Canon-MULTIPASS-MP610
---------------------------------------------------------------------
so that it seems "Canon PIXMA MP610" and "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610"
are actually the same device and it is only one of the usual
naming confusion - note that your device calls itself at the USB
"Canon MP610 series" which is again a bit different than
"Canon PIXMA MP610" and "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610"
and whatever the label is on your actual printer hardware.

In the end it seems it should work to
enter "MP610" as the model info in YaST
and then press [Show matching drivers]
and then use one of the drivers for the "Canon PIXMA MP610".

I assume the confusion is only becaus you also hit bug #468046
so that I close this one as a duplicate.


Regarding yout third-party driver or PPD which you downloaded
from somewhere:

If what you downloaded is only a plain PPD file,
it cannot work at all because a PPD file is only
a printer description file but no driver.
For non-PostScript printers the PPD file alone is
not sufficient to set up a working printer configuration.
In particular it does not work for non-PostScript printers
to download a PPD file from the Internet and then set up
the printer with such a PPD file.
The plain printer setup would work but actual printing
would not work because the driver is missing.
For non-PostScript printers you need a printer driver
and a PPD file which matches exactly to the particular driver.

If what you downloaded is a full driver package
(i.e. the actual driver plus matching PPD file)
but this driver doesn't work, then we cannot help at all
because we cannot help at all for third-party software.
In this case you could only contact those who made
the third-party software or those from where you
got the third-party software.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 468046 ***

By the way:
Regarding the scanner unit in a Canon PIXMA MP610:

The Canon Pixma MP610 scanner unit is currently not
supported by any scanner driver which we provide
for openSUSE 11.1.

Therefore for the Canon Pixma MP610 scanner unit
you may have to look for a third-party driver
but note that we cannot provide any help or support
how to install and/or setup a third-party driver.

Regarding the "Canon PIXMA MP610" versus "Canon MULTIPASS-MP610"
naming confusion I informed OpenPrinting.org:
http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308

Sorry my error. This is Canon PIXMA MP610

But still I cannot get this printer working with any drivers. I cannot install Canon own drivers to opensuse 11.1 and other drivers doesn't work.
