Who though it can do that? Here’s proof.

But how? You guess?

Tutorial

[!INFO] This tutorial will based on Arch Linux (since I use arch btw), if you use another distro like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian. DYOR (Do your own research) but step will familar to this

First, Install CUPS and Samba (For who still doesn’t)

sudo pacman -S cups samba ghostscript

and then install Canon UFR II PPD Driver

yay -S cnrdrvcups-lb

and than just make simple samba config on /etc/samba/samba.conf like this

[global]
   workgroup = PSC ; Or you can use anything else!
   client min protocol = SMB2
   client max protocol = SMB3

after that you can enable cups

sudo systemctl start cups
sudo systemctl enable cups

Second, add the printer

With this simple command

sudo lpadmin -p Canon_5840i \
  -v "smb://psc%5Cu012345:1234@canonps.psc.local/Canon_Mac" \
  -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNRCUPSIRADVC5840ZK.ppd \
  -E

• lpadmin -p Canon_5840i -v "smb://psc%5Cu012345:1234@canonps.psc.local/ - Printer Location on Canon Print Server (canonps) by
  • smb:// - Protocol (SMB)

  • psc%5c - Domain (NETBIOS) Name [This case

    psc\]

  • u012345 - Username (same as network/ad cred)
  • 1234 - Password
  • canonps.psc.local - Server (Also works with IP, 192.168.2.30)
  • /Canon_Mac - Path to Printer
• -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNRCUPSIRADVC5840ZK.ppd - Spectify PPD Driver (Canon iR-ADV C5840/5850 UFR II )
• -E - Enable

  you can set -p as you like, ex. psc-printer

After that, you can print via Printer as normal.
