canon’s homepage have linux driver,but it is for i 386,
I try to install the 32 bit driver ,The driver can not work.
I try download the driver’s source ,and compile it ,it can not success,because some lib provide by canon is 32 bit.

The i386 drivers usually work ok on x86_64 with a tweak. The Canon rpms
place the filter in /usr/lib/cups/filter and you need them
in /usr/lib64/cups/filter. After you install the canon drivers look
in /usr/lib/cups/filter to get the exact name of the filter. Then (assuming
the filter is named “pstocanonij”) open a terminal window and enter:


su
ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter

You may need to alter the filter name to what you found
in /usr/lib/cups/filter.

I think there are two possible names.

There might be a 64 bit version of that driver on the canon asia website, this is where i found the driver for my ip 2600.

Both Cannon and Lexmark have awful support for linux, maybe you should sell your printer and maybe buy a HP

#5

Canon LBB5100 Capt Driver x86_64 - openSUSE Forums

maybe this thread will help you to make rpm

I got a problem while compilling cndrvcups-capt.

I was need to do

  1. compile cndrvcups-common
  2. install it (cndrvcups-common)
  3. compile cndrvcups-capt

Thank-you thank-you!

My ip4700 is working in linux!!!

I’m using opensuse 11.2 KDE. I downloaded the i386 rpm fron canon asia site.

I than fired up yast and searched for:

libsoft.so - it needs the 32bit variant to install.

I then ran sudo ./install.sh and it installed!!

I then had to follow you advice with moving that file.

Then I set it up in printer configuration in KDE.

Thanks again!! Even duplex printing works!!!
