How can I add a Canon IP2770 printer on Ubuntu 14.04? I've already tried using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2700series

But I receive an error message saying: 

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/michael-gruz/canon/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/michael-gruz/canon/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

I installed the printer using these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update

then installed libtiff4 library on my 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 using these commands:

wget http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

After installing the libtiff4 library, install the printer driver using the following command:

sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2700series

After rebooting, you can add the printer.

If you are using a 32-bit operating system, use these commands to install libtiff4 library:

wget http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
