Just a kindly reminder (because I forgot) that to have the scanner working you probably should use avahi:

There are other methods but this is the easiest one.

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?
