Printing problems with Canon MP600R (and zathura)

Hi, I've been trying to get my printer working properly. I've installed cups according to the wiki article, and adding the printer worked as expected. This is where I'm at: When printing from zathura, the resulting page is really low resolution. When printing to cups-pdf from zathura, the resulting PDF is of very low resolution. However, when using

lp -d Virtual_PDF_Printer test.pdf

the resulting PDF is just fine. When printing with

lp -d Canon_MP600R test.pdf

the page is much better in resolution, but still not ideal. Also, it seems that the font comes out too bold?!

However, the cups test page I've printed looks fine to me.

Not sure if this is related, but sometimes the printer does not react to a print job, and /var/log/cups/error_log contains lines like this:

Got USB transaction timeout during write.

Thanks in advance

Not sure, but I think I read that some users had issues printing pdf's without adobe reader installed.
