Would like to use the comments there as much as possible so I can get used to referring there (I do the same whenever I have an issue with an AUR package someone else built)... if it's not getting enough exposure there, then bringing it to the forum would be the next move. thanks for being my first test subject! Feels good to have actually accomplished something around here I know I contribute in other ways, but it's nice to actually contribute with software and not just troubleshooting or suggestions. Thanks again!
I always use cnijfilter for a general search or mg5200 for the specific printer...
]]>I had been searchin AUR using Canon, Pixma, and/or 5220 and had found nothing. Did a search for 5200 this morning and low and behold, both printer and scanner appeared. Really surprised Canon didn't pull them up.
Both files have to be extracted into a Canon folder (ie. AUR>Canon>cnijfilter-mg5200 and AUR>Canon>scangearmp-mg5200) or the build will error out.
The printer package seems to have worked out fine. The scanner package is looking for gimp-2 and will error out if it's not present on your system but installs nicely once gimp is installed.
Thank you very much for putting these together.
