evaliauka, you probably don't have the base-devel group installed. Check https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites
vargagab, I may have spoken to soon. Could you clarify how at which locations your arch machines are and how they connect to the printers ?

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.

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 .
