How to install Canon Pixma MP620?

I have been trying to install my Canon Pixma MP620 printer via cable network on my Ubuntu 13.04 64bit OS for two days. Previously I also tried to install the printer on Linux Mint 15, but failed.

There are lots (really tons) of well written tutorials how to install the printer (e.g. this wiki on ubuntuusers.de). However nothing seems to work.

After messing up my system with lots of packages and different drivers I did a complete reinstall of the operating system.

I have an MP620 printer that stopped working on Ubuntu 13.04.
After some investigations I found out that CUPS did not have suport for BJNP.
I tried to install the support with

sudo apt-get install cups-backend-bjnp

After this, CUPS found the printer and the driver automatically.

before installing cups-backend-bjnp I followed the instructions from this post.
