I have checked and Gutenprint seems to not support this printer, so the only solution is a driver from Canon. The Canon driver does not install because it has dependencies on libcupsys2 though. A possible solution would be if we introduce the transitional packages names ...cupsys... again, for manufacturer-supplied legacy drivers. This would be a solution only for legacy drivers. manufactutrers are encouraged to provide decent LSB-based packages:

as Epson already does (see all "epson-..." driver entries):

I move this to cups as there we could introduce the transitional packages.
