CUPS backend for the canon printers using the proprietary USB over IP BJNP protocol. This backend allows Cups to print over the network to a Canon printer. It currently suuports Cups 1.2 and Cups 1.3 It is designed by reverse engineering.
Yep certainly... Great work are you guys doing...
It works fine.
Absolutely brilliant: does what it says on the tin, has a clear README, and a quick and simple diagnostic check before installation. Thanks so much to the authors; it was considerably less effort for me to install for a Canon MX-850 than for my housemates to install the Windows driver!
Got 0.5.4 detecting Canon PIXMA MP980 (initial printer WiFi setup done from Windows) with CUPS 1.4.2 under Gentoo amd64 after creating a symlink from /usr/libexec/cups/backend/bjnp to /usr/lib/cups/backend/bjnp (might be good to update install for this). Now to test the actual printing all I need is to find an amd64 filter/PPD (or setup a 32-bit chroot for cnijfilter hoping it works with MP980).
