OK, Glad you found the right model number :) the driver installation for that printer on Linux is located at: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/color-laser/mf628cw?tab=drivers#Z7_MQH8HIC0L88RB0AMD0F1Q42K25 I've downloaded it just to look at it. After unpacking the .tgz, you'll find what appears to be comprehensive documnetation in a group of html files. open, with your web browser this file: /home/fredex/programs/canon/linux-UFRII-drv-v340-02-usen/Documents/guide-ufr2-3.4xUS/index.html. For Centos you may need to install some additional modules. according to the README file (one level up from the above URL) there are some required packages, and it lists them for you. I'll stop blathering, I'm sure you know how to figure out the steps to get it going. good luck with it!
