Isn't it as simply as....

Thank you, Ed.
You are (as usual) quite right.
I think all that was required to get the program rpmbuild
was to dnf-install rpm-build.
Sadly, even with this in place, I cannot compile Canon's official driver,
which is enormous.
The 2000-line process log ends with
**Error**: You must have `glib' installed.
You can get it from: ftp//ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
In fact glib (and glib-devel) are installed -
I assume glib is not in the expected place.
I shall continue to look for a way to compile the Canon program.
Meanwhile I have to re-boot into Windows to use this printer.
You don't say why you need to compile; I have an MG4250 scanner/printer
which works for me in SL7 with cnijfilter-mg4200series-3.80-1-rpm
There appear to be two similar sets of *.rpm.tar.gz packages (v2.20 and
v4.00) for the mg5500 series here:
