Do not expect this driver to work in the near future if Canon doesn't release a new version soon. This driver is from 2017 and the GCC environment started deprecating a lot of stuff used by this driver. Please, ask for better Linux support to Canon.

Do not flag this package out of date if there's no new version available. That's bad community behavior. A comment telling about the issue is enough.

If your machine uses the x86_64 arch, the multilib pacman repo will be needed for this driver: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib

For an alternative 100% open source driver although not official by Canon, go to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/captdriver-git/

Re: driver deprecation - the CUPS creator opened this issue to discuss how to handle old devices: https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5271

From one of his comments: "Before we drop PPDs, we will be working with developers to create those printer applications (particularly Gutenprint), and will likely end up creating our own printer application (based on the existing ippserver sample code) to support existing PostScript and CUPS raster drivers. So the goal is definitely not to leave people SOL, but rather to plan for a future where we aren't limited by the capabilities of the past."

Now you'll see this warning message: lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.

Not sure what this will mean for the future with this driver.

Testing with a Canon isense LBP7200Cdn gave 2 errors related to captstatusui - changed popt dependency to lib32-popt - in cnsktmodule.h req_header[4] make statusui crash, needs to be [5]. see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/171689

Compared my PKGBUILD with the rpm spec-file and the pkgbuild for capt-src, and added a lot of things.

The package is intended for x86_64, but while captmon is present in the source, it seems it isn't build. Guess i focused to much on solving 2 tricky build errors and missed some things. working on next version.

Note : 64 bit ONLY for now when the package will be on x86_64? Now there is no captmon (which comes in binary form) and lib32

hanks for the info, OramahMaalhur, but i prefer building from source. I've uploaded a version for 2.40 here : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=57689 Everyone should switch to that package, as this one is out of date & has the wrong name. It will be merged with the new package in a few weeks.

I build this from spurce, using the rpm specfile as a template. Not easy, but it now does compile completely. Note : 64 bit ONLY for now
