As Lone_Wolf mentioned in March, my system would hang indefinitely when trying to print. However, libjbig-shared did not fix my problem.
Instead, I downloaded the driver archive from Canon's website (for the MF731/MF733), and dug through it to find CNRCUPSIR1643I2ZS.ppd which I selected in CUPS, and it worked instantly.
Thanks my printer (CANON imageCLASS MF229dw) works now.
For newcomers, I had to install all of cups, cnrdrvcups-lb, and libjbig-shared.
Just works on Manjaro. Thank you!
You're awesome SmashedSqurl! The package worked, brilliantly!
New upstream release, also building with locally set CFLAGS now.
Installing libjbig-shared fixed the problem with hanging for me. Thanks SmashedSqwurl!
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.
On some systems printing fails while a component of this driver consumes 100% CPU . SmashedSqwurl figured out this appears to be related to differences between archlinux jbigkit and debian jbigkit.
A workaround is to install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libjbig-shared/ .
I checked and it does appear debian patches jbigkit heavily [1][2].
If I understand you correctly, the problem is that UFR2 is hardcoded to use a library that's present in debian jbigkit but not in archlinux jbigkit ?
The contents of cnrdrvcups-common-5.20/cnjbig/cnjbig.c do reference libjbig.so.0 .
Wonder if redHat / fedora use the same patches as debian.
I'll consider adding jbigkit and your libjbig-shared packges as optional dependencies, but do have some comments about the new package and will post them there.
[1] https://packages.debian.org/buster/libjbig0
[2] http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/jbigkit/jbigkit_2.1-3.1.debian.tar.xz
I went ahead and built an AUR package that just builds and installs the libjbig shared library: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libjbig-shared/
If you add this to the dependencies it should fix the 100% CPU bug everyone is having.

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 .
