*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-raster 0 rastertoufr2"
Which means this filter is doing most of the work. Sure we could eventually build this filter, but iirc the source is closed source from canon.

Thanks for the information Silvan. That means that the chances for this printers to run with CUPS on are low.

Hi Martin
I could add that when I bought a Canon MG7550 inkjet printer/scanner there was no cups support - Canon provided linux systems with ppd files and a closed source "plugin". However, cups was developing support for that printer without using the Canon ppds or plugin, I had to "hassle" Paul into updating "our" cups and ended up with a nicely working printer.
However, looking these pages
https://www.cups.org/
https://www.pwg.org/ipp/everywhere.html
https://openprinting.github.io/current/
it seems the only development is IPP Everywhere.
So, it looks like cups V3 will see us all switch to IPP Everywhere .
Maybe Paul and Silvan can enlighten us further when they look into porting cups V3 ...
Regards
Pete
