Lookup your printer on:

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting

they may have recommended drivers and installing information.

I haven't worked with a Canon ImageRunner...BUT..I have had success in the
past setting up these types of devices using ipp and lpr. The difficulty
in using lpr normally is figuring out what the 'remote queue' name is. As
there is no standard naming convention. You might try remote queue names
such as lp, lpd, print etc.

Ooo, actually, I might have just found your device. Check here:

In the queue name column that would be what you need to use for the remote
queue name.

Hey guys,

I hate to resuscitate an older thread, but I am still having no luck with this Canon Network photocopier/printer.

Should the cups input be "lpd://192.168.0.5/print"?

I am still not fully understanding the Add Printer screen.


Thank again,

Yes.

Working through the cups screens it would go something like this:

Location, Description...whatever.
continue
drop down select lpd/lpr host or printer
continue
Device URI: lpd://192.168.0.5/print
continue
For Make select Canon and look for similar model name on next screen or
Provide PPD file. (if nothing else works try HP and Laserjet 5 driver as
other poster suggested)
Click Modify Printer
