How are you? I just discovered your website and your work on Gutenprint!
Wow, it's fantastic!
I just have one question:

I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 (You might know what it is :D), I'd like to print
something on a Canon MG 2950.
I took a look at your printers' list and I saw it was in! I downloaded the
package 5.2.12, and everything is OK.

But no printing option... Have I to do something special? I'm sure that
someone already asked you this before ^^

Have a nice day! Thanks!

Hi, Tonio,

Gutenprint works with CUPS (and a plugin for GIMP), so you need to set
up a CUPS queue for your printer.
During that process you select the gutenprint driver for your printer
from the list offered by CUPS.

Best regards,

"No printing option" -- what are you referring to, exactly?

(Please reply to the entire list)
Very fast answer ! On the CUPS administration page, my printer is found,
the model is right, but I can't find any driver... There isn't any ARM
driver on the Canon website and I wonder what could I do with Gutenprint.
And where could I find the mg2950 driver in your software ;) ? Thank you so
much
Have you compiled and installed tha package?

Make sure that you have the CUPS development package installed,
otherwise the CUPS driver won't build.
