The i-sensys MF633c is mentioned as requiring 3.70 and the model of your printer is so close it's probably the saem family as that one .
It's weird, but many things about canon printers on non-supported linuxes are weird.
Is it weird that I could not get this to work with my mf632cdw but the 3.70 one worked? Even canon's website is telling me to use the 5.60 with linux.
Noted, It will probably take atleast a week before I can perform the update.
version 5.60 is available from canon website: https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0100007658/30/linux-UFRII-drv-v560-m17n-08.tar.gz https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/printers/laser/i-sensys_lbp6670dn.html?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:13-1506758&os=linux%20%2864-bit%29&language=en
correct, with gtk3 as makedepend gtk2 & loibglade are no longer needed.
updated, thab nks for the report pparidans
Looks like the 5.50 version doesn't require gtk2 and libglade anymore (probably since the change requiring gtk3).
If confirmed, those dependencies could be removed, I guess.
Updated, after install /usr/share/doc/cnrdrvcups-lb now contains readme / html userguide in 8 languages.
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.

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 .
