I have Canon Pixma MX320 printer, that used to print ok in Ubuntu 12.04...after I uninstalled KDE Plasma (I made back up before that) it stopped working...I suppose I uninstalled canon drivers...is it possible to restore just appropriate canon drivers or should I install them again (I forgot the procedure)?

In Ubuntu you not needed to care on drivers for printers. Just got to setting > printers and add a new. Ubuntu finds your printer.
It must be plugged in via USB.
Try running sudo apt-get install cups* printer-driver-cjet printer-driver*.
This should install most of the available drivers...
Disclaimer-type thing:
If you computer has Nvidia graphics , you might not want to run this, as I noticed it seemed to be installing alot of nvidia* packages... This seems to be related to these packages: libcupti-dev libcupti5.0
