[CentOS] Need a driver for a Canon MP160 printer

As usual, virtually every printer on the market comes with Windows, and
sometimes Mac OS, drivers for the printers, but they almost never come with
Unix/Linux drivers.  This time Google was not my friend.  I got a pointer to
a drivr, dommon<something>mp160.ppd that doesn't appear to exist anywhere on
the web, and there are two driver files from Canon Asia that want a lot of
i386 libraries, including a newer glibc than I am NOT prepared to inflict on
my x86_64 machine until CentOS 5 (once I get that bloody disk drive replaced
with a good one).

Any suggestions?  Is there anything like the Windows UPD available on
Linux/Unix/CentOS?  That would be a coup for whoever did it....

Thanks.
