So, I’m trying to use my Canon Pixma MG5220 on Manjaro (xfce) and I had just installed:
canon-pixma-mg5200-complete
However, no matter if I try to set it up in CUPS as an LPD printer (which I had been able to fix previously, until some updates), or if I let it auto set it up. It doesn’t work with this driver and it seems that other drivers that match from the AUR are not compiling (which I can provide messages from if need be). I’d love to be able to use it over my network. (I have a pfSense router as well)
So far, it seems that CUPS is trying to connect to it via LPD, which I’ve specified in my pfSense rules, but it appears that the printer itself just rejects any traffic.

Hallo,
ich bin recht neu von Windows weg und nun glücklich mit Manjaro Linux.
Was noch nicht gut funktioniert ist die Wartung meines Canon Druckers.
Ich habe zwar das hier installiert: canon-pixma-ip7200-printer 3.80-1 AUR,
aber es werden weder Tintenstand angezeigt noch kann ich einen Drüsentest machen noch kann ich Reinigen. Ist das normal unter Linux? Nur das Drucken geht. Wie macht Ihr das?
Der Drucker ist Canon Pixma ip7250.
Danke Euch im Voraus und hoffe, dass ich das hierher schreiben darf. Ich fürchte, ich darf noch kein neues Thema erstellen.

Try installing the cnijfilter2 driver with the package manager. If this is a wireless printer try setting it up with IPP. The syntax for that is: ipp://ipadress/ipp/print and then select the 5.70 driver version. This was the only way I could get my Canon PIXMA TR4522 working in Manjaro.
Hello @jbonez50,
thank you very much.
I had installed this so far:
canon-pixma-ip7200-printer 3.80-1 AUR and cnijfilter-ip7200 3.80-2 AUR
now I have installed what you recommended: cnijfilter2 6.10-1 – Canon IJPirnter Driver for Linux.
It looks like nothing has changed. Is it not possible to do a print head cleaning and a print head test with Linux and Canon printers?
If you are using KDE, go to settings and select printers. Once there select add printer and select network printer. From there select IPP, in the host box type: ipp://ipaddress(which is your printers ip address)/ipp/print. Click next and it will ask you for the driver. Select Canon and you should see a driver choice of version 5.70. Select that and click finish. It should install and give you the printer setup and configured. At this point you should be able to print a test page. It should print fine, it did for me.
If the printer is installed that is great. As far as the other features of your printer they will likely require their own drivers. You might want to try to install an app called Print Settings from the Package manager. It is more feature rich and may give you more printer settings options. If the printer is USB and works I would not install the ipp-usb 0.9.19-1.
I have tried print-manager - nothing changes.
Good, now I’ll leave everything as it is. I can print. Unfortunately, I have to start Windows from time to time to clean and adjust the print head. A pity, but ok.
This is a great forum with many good helpers. This makes Manjaro even more fun.
Thank you all very much.
