Lone_Wolf, first - thanks for your good work to maintain this. I see your even adding work on Christmas day here. Several months ago my Canon MF244dw ImageClass on Arch/Manjaro worked fine with Cups in network config. Something has changed with the Cups driver database. Bad PPD file and have not been able use since September. I do have the canon drivers, and talk to them, but the files are not for Arch.
Please how to use your build ?? Its not working here...
If I understand I must modify it somehow so that it can work??
Can you please explain or point me to a link to understand how to go about this?

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 .
