i download the canon printer’s driver from its official website.
it has only deb/rpm format.
so, i manual copy the files to folder /usr/
to run the install.sh could know the driver requires packages:
cups cupsys cups-bsd libcups2 libcupsys2 libcupsimage2 libgtk-3-0 libjpeg62 libjpeg62-turbo libgcrypt20 libbeecrypt7 libjbig0 lsb-release
so, i try install with “pacman -S”
what i could install are only “cups” and “lsb-release”.
the others are missing.
what’s should i do? thanks.
i want to connect the printer by wireless “direct connection” .

I would try this one @creatxr , then click on the Print-Settings app & go from there;
sudo pacman -Syu system-config-printer
it may be the gui config tool which i selected while installing?
at first, i tried several times by config with “http://localhost:631/admin ”. it’s unable to print.
at the end, i use “system/printing settings” to add printer. it could print, but the options in the “print dialog” is different than when i success install the official driver in debian/ubuntu based distro.
and the libs that i am unable to install may be used in scanner. i will try if the scanner function working tomorrow.

You can also add Simple-Scan or XSane to scan as well @creatxr for your scan needs.
