Title:
  Canon MG6200 printer driver has incorrect default color model

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installed my Canon MG6220 printer today using the Printers applet in
  System Settings. It found it right away and I chose the recommended
  Gutenprint driver: Canon PIXMA MG6200.

  Without changing a single setting I clicked on Print Test Page. You
  can see the result in the attachment, RGB-default.jpg. Colors are drab
  and lifeless, nothing like when I print a test page in Windows 7 on
  this same PC/Printer combination.

  I did a web search, immediately found others had fixed this issue on
  their Canon printers by changing the "Color Model" setting on the
  Gutenprint driver from the default of RGB to use CMYK instead. Changed
  that easily under Printer Settings | Printer Options | Color Model.
  Immediately printed another test page, results are attached as
  CMYK.jpg. See for yourself, I can't put it any other way than, "colors
  are fixed."

  I have no idea how Gutenprint finds or defines a color model for a
  printer, but it is definitely incorrect for the Canon MG6200 series.
