Arch Linux newbie here, so bear with my questions.
I've got a Pogoplug E02 running arch linux with samba and everything works great. Recently I was trying to set up Airprint with my USB-printer Canon imageClass D420. I followed this tutorial:
http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutoria ... linux.html
I installed CUPS and was able to get to the web interface by going to http://<PogoPlugIPAddress>:631/admin. I connected the printer to one of the USB ports on the back of the Pogoplug unit, and then I clicked "Find printers", I could see the "Canon D400-450 (UFRII LT) (Canon D400-450 (UFRII LT))" under local printer, which means the connection was recognized. But when it asked me to select a drive for the printer, I couldn't find the exact model under Canon. I believe this specific model isn't included in the "gutenprint" package. If I select "Generic CUPS-PDF printer" or "Generic PCL printer", it won't print.
Now, I can find the Linux UFR II driver on Canon's official website here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/c ... ndSoftware
or from the AUR database here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/canon-ufr/
The downloaded file is named "Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V270_us_EN.tar.gz" and when I unzip it in windows (sorry i don't have linux system), i ended up having .deb and .rpm files, in folders named "32bit-driver" and "64bit-driver".
My question is, how do I install the printer driver to the CUPS system on my Pogoplug?
Option 1: Is it through PACMAN command? What exactly shall I type?
Option 2: Can I install the driver via the web interface (by going to http://<PogoPlugIPAddress>:631/admin), and select "Choose a PPD file" when Add a printer? Which file should I use, 32-bit or 64-bit? .deb or .rpm?
Please help. Thank you in advance!
