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Do not flag this package out of date if there's no new version available.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.

Here is the README for the driver that includes a list of supported printers: http://aur.pastebin.com/k2Qg24CY

Thanks for updating. I've been looking around but can't find a list of which printers are supported by ufr2 vs lips4, would you happen to know of such a list? Also, I notice there's 'canon-cndrvcups-*' packages, are those dupes of yours?

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-06-29 16:07 (UTC)

Thanks for the note on the LDFLAGS! I've updated both cndrvcups-common and ufr2 to 2.00. Let me know if it works. The cndrvcups-lips4 package has a hard dependency on cndrvcups-common-1.80, so I've uploaded the old PKGBUILD for 1.80 here: http://aur.pastebin.com/zxqFuACQ

Thanks, that solves it. namcap reports libcups/cairo/freetype2 not required as dependencies (all are pulled in by 'gtk2'). Also some 'uninstalled dependency' errors.

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-06-29 06:55 (UTC)

It seems that adding "unset LDFLAGS" at the beginning of build() helps.

Hi, Trying to install this driver. But installation is incomplete for some reason. The relevant portion of compiler message is pasted at the link below http://pastebin.com/kxqQTC1G Any ideas on why it is doing this?

I have the same problem to, Arch 32bit, all packages are latest, testing repositories disabled.

ngoonee commented on 2010-06-04 01:44 (UTC)

I just tried it on another machine, same issue. My install is 64-bit, if it matters. Building doesn't work in the 32-bit chroot either (just for testing).

ngoonee commented on 2010-06-03 22:24 (UTC)

1.4.3-2, the latest

<deleted-account> commented on 2010-06-03 16:20 (UTC)

Hm, I don't have any errors when trying to build. What version of libcups do you have?
