Many thanks
 
Looks like you need these packages;

Package libglade0 is not installed.
Package libpng2 is not installed.
Package libxml1 is not installed.
Package xlibs is not installed.

Once they are installed you should be able to then configure that canon package correctly. I think those 4 things should be available via apt-get (add in some more repositories if not).

guide on adding repositories (do a google for decent ones);

Or just google for the libpng2.deb package etc.

Right ive installed everything apart from:

libpng2

as when i try and install it, i get:

PNG library, older version - runtime
libpng is a library implementing an interface for reading and writing PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format files.
This is a dummy package; it is superseded by libpng10-0.

I have installed libpng10-0 but when i try and install the canon driver, it still says i need libpng2 :(
