Followed these instructions (and fixed step 6 'cd' needed) and it works ok. Note that you really need to download 4 rpm's (common+mp160 rpm's for printer and again for scanner, not the source rpm's).
26-aug-2007: Added alternate piece to step 6 for Linux Mint Cassandra, based on Ubuntu 7.04


05-sep-2007: Added step 7a for Ubuntu 7.04 - old GTK libraries required
