Canon-asia has linux rpms. You can get these here:
There should be two rpms to download. The common and the driver. First
install the common and then the driver. I would suggest you install directly
with CUPS, http://localhost:631/. When asked to authenticate use the
username: root and the password is your root’s password. If you are using
the x86_64 version of OpenSuse, there is one additional step before you can
install. Post back if your system is x86_64

The web interface seemed to have truncated the link. I’ll see if this flies.

After you install the Canon rpms the filter will be placed
in /usr/lib/cups/filter/ and you need a copy in /usr/lib64/cups/filter/
The easiest way is to setup a link to the filter in lib64. As an example,
open a terminal window and enter:
su
ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter
The actual name of the canon filter in /usr/lib/cups/filter MAY NOT BE
pstocanonij. Before you execute the above command check that the filter
name is correct. ( I think Canon only has two of these but I’m not sure.)
The best way to install the Canon rpms is to download them in some directory,
for example: /home/your_user_name. Open a terminal window and enter:
su
rpm -Uvh <full path to rpm>
Be sure to install the common rpm first. Best of luck. If you get it all
going please post the actual name of the filter you found
in /usr/lib/cups/filter/; I’m trying to keep track of which filter works with
each printer.

Go to YaST–>Software Management, Select search, enter the missing library and
check rpm provides.
@malcolmlewis;
The OP said 11.1
