Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

I had the same issue with my old MG6120, it was annoying and only happened with my Linux boxes (using this driver) and not Windows.
When I upgraded my printer to a G6020 I used the CUPS IPP Everywhere functionality. It works great and exhibits none of the issues this driver had in my experience.
I believe the IPP Everywhere functionality will work with your G7050.
I use this with my G7050. But sometimes, especially when I shut down and restart the printer while my Gnome session runs, it won't print: the task goes to the queue, the printer seems to receive the order as it starts cleaning but the printing itself doesn't start. I have to disconnect the electrical plug in order to do (I guess) some kind of resetting and then it works again. This is quite annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? (It's connected through ipp).
I can confirm my Canon Pixma G3560 works with the G3060 series PPD included in this package. USB printing worked straight away; in order to print wirelessly, I had to add it as a direct socket connection. Any other network option (IPP via DNS-SD) did discover the printer but the jobs could never print.
According to the ppd folder in the package, yes. Yes, I mean the keywords. But that could be strange, I know.
@sanskritfritz you mean the keywords? You sure all those printers work with this version?
Switched to https. Didn't update the release version so people already installed don't need to install again.
a172 - Its the URL I extracted from the cannon website serving the request. I didn't think to try the https version.
Any reason in particular the source link went from https to http? The https link seems to work fine with 6.10.
An idea: update the tag list with the following: "E200 E300 E3100 E3300 E4200 E450 E470 E480 G3000 G3010 G4000 G4010 G5000 G5080 G6000 G6080 G7000 G7080 GM2000 GM2080 GM4000 GM4080 iB4000 iB4100 iP110 MB2000 MB2100 MB2300 MB2700 MB5000 MB5100 MB5300 MB5400 MG2900 MG3000 MG3600 MG5600 MG5700 MG6600 MG6700 MG6800 MG6900 MG7500 MG7700 MX490 TR4500 TR703 TR7500 TR7530 TR8500 TR8530 TR8580 TR9530 TS200 TS300 TS3100 TS3300 TS5000 TS5100 TS5300 TS5380 TS6000 TS6100 TS6130 TS6180 TS6200 TS6230 TS6280 TS6300 TS6330 TS6380 TS700 TS708 TS7330 TS8000 TS8100 TS8130 TS8180 TS8200 TS8230 TS8280 TS8300 TS8330 TS8380 TS9000 TS9100 TS9180 TS9500 TS9580 XK50 XK60 XK70 XK80" so a search for those printers would find this package?

Just a kindly reminder (because I forgot) that to have the scanner working you probably should use avahi:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SANE/Scanner-specific_problems#Scanning_over_the_network_with_Canon_PIXMA_or_imageCLASS_all-in-one_printer/scanners
There are other methods but this is the easiest one.
