Hmmm .....

These are canon pixma (inkjet/multifunction) printer drivers grouped by release versions. They have been rebuilt from source for the puppy platform. Canon driver sets v2.90 & v2.80 have been patched for cups backend naming compliance. The backend drivers will work with any CUPS version. The original backends were named cnij_usb and CUPS 1.3.x+ will reject backends with underscores. The patched usb backend (included in all driver pets here) is basically the same to the ones in canon common v3.00 driver.

Try this one. If it doesn't work, you can send Patriot a PM and he will re-upload his version.
