Canon appears to have added i686 , ARM Aarch64 and MIPS64 processor support since Version 5.30 .

A quick peek indicates that the PKGBUILD will need adjustments to work on those other architectures.

If you do run archlinux (or something close to it) on such a processor, have a supported printer and are willing to help test the adjustments, send me an email.

On some systems printing fails while a component of this driver consumes 100% CPU . SmashedSqwurl figured out this appears to be related to differences between archlinux jbigkit and debian jbigkit.

A workaround is to install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libjbig-shared/ .

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 .

Main difference between 3.70 and 5.x versions :

3.70 has 64-bit & 32-bit code and needs to be built as a multilib application. Also it includes proprietary binaries from canon.

5.x is pure 64-bit and more parts of it are opensource.

People coming from cndrvcups-lb / cndrvcups-common-lb or cndrvcups-lb-bin :

You will have to start afresh.

remove the 3.70 versions and created printer definitions in cups
build this package and install
recreate your printer definitions

html documentation from canon is in /usr/share/doc/cnrdrvcups-lb

First look at version 5.50 indicates it's a multi-lingual version and includes licenses & documentation in several languages.

Not sure how to deal with them, but will look into it.

If I run cngplp2 as sudo, I can activate "Job Accounting" (in "Properties..." -> "Device Settings" -> second-to-last checkbox). If I activate it, press "OK", and "Save Settings" I'm appropriately asked for my ID/PIN. When I open cngplp2 again, the setting has not been saved though, "Job Accounting" is disabled. Does anyone have an idea why this is the case?

Another detail: If I run cngplp2 with my normal user (without sudo), the "Job Accounting" checkbox is grayed out.

As Lone_Wolf mentioned in March, my system would hang indefinitely when trying to print. However, libjbig-shared did not fix my problem.

Instead, I downloaded the driver archive from Canon's website (for the MF731/MF733), and dug through it to find CNRCUPSIR1643I2ZS.ppd which I selected in CUPS, and it worked instantly.

Thanks my printer (CANON imageCLASS MF229dw) works now. For newcomers, I had to install all of cups, cnrdrvcups-lb, and libjbig-shared.

Just works on Manjaro. Thank you!

You're awesome SmashedSqurl! The package worked, brilliantly!

New upstream release, also building with locally set CFLAGS now.

Installing libjbig-shared fixed the problem with hanging for me. Thanks SmashedSqwurl!
