Getting canon printer working in openSUSE 11

Just writing this so I can remember it later.  Had a horrible time trying to figure out how to get my Canon Pixma IP1500 printer working in OpenSUSE 11.  The trick was to find the right compat rpm which has the libpng.so.2 stuff.

Hard to find the rpm file, so its here:

compat-200442-3i586

And you need this file also (Canon printer driver)
