In Archlinux, enable the multilib repository in /etc/pacman.conf, then:

yaourt -S cndrvcups-lb
sudo systemctl restart cups-browsed.service

Go to Gnome control panel, printers, add printer. When automatic search begins insert the IP (i.e. 10.2.20.163). Of the three options that should appear chose the one with LPD protocol. For the model choose 'Canon iR-ADV C7055/7065 UFR II'. Posibly there will be two identical entries (don't know why) but choose the first one.

  • Connection: lpd://10.2.20.163:515/PASSTHRU
  • Model: Canon iR-ADV C7055/7065 UFR II ver.3.0

Change the short name of the printer if desired.
