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.

@ruffy I could add it but not sure if 'libusb' is required because some modern printers don't even have USB. The package installs with a clean chroot so it's not a compilation requirement. The easy way to test is pkgctl build --repo extra. More information here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

@tobias-hd glad you fixed it, but install base-devel as detailed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

Hi, I get an error message during installation on Manjaro:

config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
    for automatic dependency tracking.  If GNU make was not used, consider
    re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
    necessary).  You can also try re-running configure with the
    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details

Unfortunately I could not find the "config.log" file yet. Any idea how I could fix this?

Update: Found the "config.log" - "make" was missing on my system, and seems not to be in the dependencies. After manual installation of "make", build & installation of cnijfilter2 was successful, and printing works.

It's working great. Thanks

ruffy commented on 2023-08-08 11:33 (UTC)

please add 'libusb' to the makedepends.

Updated to version 6.60

@lkabod I would if I could but I have no idea how that works. All this package does is install cnijfilter2.

@titi1970 Updated. Better late than never. I still don't know how you guys find updates.

Hello,

can you please add support for the multifunctional tray and the media type "disk"?

I use the Pixma TS705a printer and bought it in first place to use the multifunctional tray.

With the original Canon driver for Debian* under Debian the tray is available and works fine.

If I use the PPD file from the Debian package (canonts700.ppd) in Manjaro the multifunctional tray is available and all works (job runs through the queue to the printer) but the printer acts like a black whole (swallows the job but does nothing).

If you need to test something, I'm glad to do it.

PS: The printer is in Debian and in Manjaro connect via USB 3.0 (both are virtual machines)

Thank you! I have a TS6350a and this package worked like a charm for regular printing. The Gutenprint driver did not work for me.
