Arch Linux User Repository

Hi,

I could fix the compile simply by replacing <sys/sysctl.h> with <unistd.h> in cngpijmon/cnijnpr/cnijnpr/cnijnpr.c The driver seems to work fine after that, the printer was autodetected and the test page printed correctly. I only tried on 5.9 kernel though, with an MG6250 over ethernet.

yeah, I know. But that's not reason to mark package as out of date. That's not my problem ...

Fixing is nothing easy, as it's kernel dependency thing (or I can just set dependency on old kernel)

It seems that I cannot compile this package, as it relies on <sys/sysctl.h> library, which has been removed since Linux 5.5 as far as I can find on internet.

Hi,

this also works fine with Canon MG4100-series (or atleast mg4150) if the line "_model=mg6200" is replaced with "mg4100" in the PKGBUILD.

hi DaveCode,

My printer is connected through wifi and Device URI is cnijnet:/XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX where XX... is MAC of printer
Never got any problem

Lopo, thank you so very much for this package.

What's the printer URI? I know the IP addy, enabled LPD on board, and see the built-in web page from my browser when I use the IP addy. Yet CUPS can't get a print job over.

Some discussions say Canon uses nonstandard protocols with odd URI prefixes like cnij:// but I don't quite get it. Have you any ideas? Thanks.

Needs to run ldconfig, otherwise you get this in cups debug error log:

/usr/bin/cifmg6200: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcnbpcnclapi390.so: undefined symbol: BJESInitiate
