I downloaded the tarball and compiled the necessary cups filters for Canon MG2400. Here is what I now have in /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter : /usr/local/libexec/cups/filter <<: ls bannertopdf gstoraster pdftoopvp pstops rastertohp textonly cmdtocanonij gziptoany pdftopdf pstopxl rastertolabel texttopdf commandtoescpx imagetopdf pdftops pstoraster rastertopclx texttops commandtopclx imagetops pdftoraster rastertodymo rastertopdf urftopdf commandtops imagetoraster pstocanonij rastertoepson rastertopwg gstopxl pdftoijs pstopdf rastertoescpx sys5ippprinter When I try to print a test page or a text file, the printer blinks 1-2 times and nothing happens. Here a few lines from cups' error log : E [25/Feb/2016:10:53:58 +0530] Missing <Job #> directive on line 27 of /var/db/cups/job.cache.
