Canon also supports this driver on i686 and MIPS64 .

IF

you run archlinux (or something close to it) on such a processor

AND have a supported printer

AND are willing to help test necessary adjustments

THEN please send me an email.

The printers supported by this package are often networked.

problems can be in the cnrdrvcups-lb driver, but also with authentication over smb, vpn settings etc .

Troubleshooting those is often very hard.

Archlinux and derivatives are not supported by canon. Use whatever works for you, even if that means using canon drivers in a VM that runs a supported distro .

Archlinux depends array only includes things necessary to run the software.

Nothing in that library links to jbigkit so-files , so it can run without jbigkit installed.

At buildtime it's needed, at runtime it's optional . That's why its listed as makedepend and optional .

Convince Canon that jbigkit is necessary, let them link to it and I'll add it.

ghostscript, gtk3 and libpeg6-turbo where optional in the past because canon used them but didn't link to them. They've improved their code and they were moved to depends .

Note that past events have shown that Canon only handles support tickets for supported linux versions. tickets about usage on non-supported distros are closed immediately even if they're submitted by clients with enterprise support contracts.

optdepends=('jbigkit: solves some cpu hangs'

This is not an optional dependency. UFR-II is a suite of protocols with different raster encoding methods, one of which is jbig.

List of JBIG models here. These won't print without libjbig: https://github.com/ondrej-zary/carps-cups/issues/25

There are proprietary parts in the code that require older versions. libjpeg-turbo is too new for those.

Note that the proprietary code is updated by canon , just slowly.

Please test with libjpeg-turbo and report your findings.

Same question as kbipinkumar: Is libjpeg6-turbo needed? If libjpeg-turbo from [extra] does not work, do you know why?

treefort commented on 2026-01-05 23:50 (UTC)

Worked for me on an iR-ADV C5860i using Arch 6.17.9 - Thanks!

squid-f commented on 2025-12-30 20:38 (UTC)

@kbipinkumar : I have both installed libjpeg-turbo 3.1.2-1 libjpeg6-turbo 1.5.3-3

kbipinkumar commented on 2025-12-30 18:09 (UTC)

is libjpeg6-turbo a hard requirement to build the package? is it incompatible with libjpeg-turbo from arch repo?

cbrnr commented on 2025-06-23 13:35 (UTC)

Sadly, the latest version does not work either. I still get the error message on the printer (translated from German "Could not execute print job because of unsupported data.").

Lone_Wolf commented on 2025-06-19 07:09 (UTC)

Thanks, seems I forgot to regenerate it.

Fixed.
