Did you ever get this printer working with this particular gentoo |
| 19 |
installation? If not have you seen this page: |

They make suggestions for drivers that may work. CUPs requires that you have |
| 24 |
installed the correct drivers for your device first. Sorry I can't help more. |

Last time I tried to get a canon working was more than 5 years ago and I |
| 26 |
couldn't find a driver or ppd info at the time. |
