R7h0re4 said it works on Debian 32. As I understand it, it should be possible to clone the config on other distributions. If you can't clone it, ask the debian devs what they did there. Another hacky suggestion, although not very nice to resources, but may spare config-diving: run a virtual machine with an os which works with the canon printer, and use it as a print server. You can make snapshot with some virtual machines, which would speed up starting and stopping the server, which just could be automated in a script. mar77i
