Google shows that others have also failed to compile this.<br><br>I see that it is a network printer.

I now have one and am printing through Windows, but not<br>> through CUPS on PCBSD. The ppd file supplied by Canon is fine, but<br>> there is no backend for PCBSD. The ppd file expects a filter<br>> /usr/local/lib/cups/filter/pstocapt3 to translate the postscript to<br>> CAPT, the Canon printer language.
