I have one of those printers and it works well.
I configured the printer to find my access point and to receive an IP address
(static).
I then configured my workstations with CUPS to connect to bjnp://ipaddress/:8611.
Android can also connect to this printer.

My volleyball club just bought a new printer.
When I plugged my laptop into the USB cable, CUPS tried to auto-install
it, but it failed. I saw multiple USB connects and disconnects in the
log. The last log entries in every series were disconnects. The pop-up
window claiming it was installing never went away, it just sat there.
Next step, I googled the printer linux support, and found the canon
linux print drivers. I downloaded
cnijfilter-mg5500series-4.00-1-rpm.tar.gz from Canon, untarred it, and
ran the install.sh script. After it finished, I can now print to the
printer via USB cable. (MG5500USB printer added to my system.)
Next step, I made sure the printer was connected to the correct wireless
network. When I had, I can now print to the printer via AirPrint from
my iPhone.
Final step, I can't seem to make my laptop see the printer wirelessly.
How can print to this printer without plugging into the USB cable?
