Alien is the option I first used when I got the printer years ago and it worked then
Thereafter canon started supplying debs. So far so good in the 32-bit world.
Come the 64-bit era and I find there are only 32 bit debs.
So alien was the first option I tried. It did not work.
The two other options are
- compile from source
- use 32 bit deb with ia32
The first did not go through. I have to try harder I guess
The second Ive not yet tried
