There are two methods I found to find and install the device drivers (one for the printer, and one for the scanner). I'll document the easiest one for Ubuntu users in the hopes that we can all learn something from this.


Note: possibly poor User interface on that web page - it is easy to miss large selection of other printer types in horizontal scrolling blue bar in middle of page. I think that is why I missed this simple solution the first time (doh!).

That said, does anyone know how those drivers are working today? Is system-config-printer setting multiarch for the user to be able to install/use those? Does cups has some multiarch glue to load i386 drivers?


These drivers are exclusively proprietary, closed-source drivers, provided by printer manufacturers (like Brother here) on their own web sites. system-config-printer has no mechanism of installing such drivers automatically as a reaction on an appropriate printer being detected.

The only type of closed-source drivers system-config-printer was able to install automatically were LSB driver packages from OpenPrinting, but those always were available in both 32- and 64-bit. Epson was the only producer of such packages.

Therefore system-config-printer has no explicit mechanism to install 32-bit binary printer drivers and/or to prepare the system for such drivers.

CUPS also has no explicit support for 32-bit printer drivers on 64-bit systems, as there is no linking between CUPS or any component of it with the printer drivers. printer drivers run as stand-alone executables CUPS filters) called by CUPS and with data exchange via pipes.

I do not know which proprietary, manufacturer-supplied printer driver packages are in use nowadays and which 32-bit library requirements they have, as there was no complaint/bug report about them for years. Probably the modern technology of driverless IPP printing has vastly reduced the need of proprietary drivers.


From my understanding, a lot of printers require filters to convert postscript output to whatever raster format the printer requires. Some printers accept postscript directly, some work well with open source filters and others need proprietary filter blobs to talk to their hardware.


The Linux driver that Canon provides has a print in Fast Mode feature, however, their driver is only available in 32-bit and in order to install and run my printer with their driver, I had to enable 32-bit support.
