Further searching the web I found at

   https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/maxify_mb_series/maxify_mb5150.html?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:14-1533036&os=linux%20%2864-bit%29&language=en

that Canon offers  a Fedora/Ubuntu  printer driver "cnijfilter2" version
5.40-1 for the Maxify MB5150 for downloading.  But since there is also a
Gentoo package  "net-print/cnijfilter2" version 5.90  I preferred to in-
stall that instead.

Trying to print a test page via Cups  failed as it did before:  the text
"Printer Test Page" was printed in light grey on the first sheet of pap-
er and then the printer started to empty the paper tray.

So I cycled power on the printer,  rebooted my laptop,  and again sent a
test page  from Cups.   This time nothing happened.   The printer didn't
even flinch and the print job is still pending.

Question: is this driver not required in my case,  or what else is going
on here?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
