Please help installing Canon TR8600 series printer

BTW, you can also use the scanner driverlessly via AirScan/eSCL. Installing sane-airscan is usually sufficient for this.

…Interesting about ‘cups-filters’. Here is my installation:

~> sudo zypper search --installed-only | grep "cups-filters"
[sudo] password for root: 
i  | cups-filters2                                 | OpenPrinting CUPS filters 2.x for CUPS 2.x                                         | package
i+ | cups-filters2-driverless                      | OpenPrinting automated driverless printer setup for CUPS 2.x                       | package

And according to the response after I initially entered the command ‘driverless’, it was included in ‘cups-filters’ but not in ‘cups-filters2’. Hence the additional package ‘cups-filters2-driverless’.

Installing cups-filters2-driverless will remove cups-filters. The former is for driverless printing only, while the latter provides driverless and legacy PPD/filter support. So stick with what you’ve got for a modern IPP-only environment.

My bad. I was confusing cups-filters with cups-filters2 and cups-filters2-driverless packages. They have split the legacy and driverless parts with the cups-filters2* packages. So you do need both in that case.
