[request] TurboPrint for Linux | Canon and Epson driver!

Hi,
can somebody make an pkgbuild for TurboPrint? This driver runs with cups and works with the most canon and epson printer

TurboPrint makes it possible to use the latest color printers with Linux. It is designed to produce maximum quality photo prints as well as high-speed text documents. Printer set-up and configuration is as simple as on Windows or MacOS.
TurboPrint benefits from more than 10 years' know-how and experience in printer driver development.

"If you want to get the optimum out of your printer, TurboPrint is a real must" (German Linux computing magazine 3/2001)" If your printer is supported, TurboPrint is a must have" - Read the review in LinuxLookup.com

Re: [request] TurboPrint for Linux | Canon and Epson driver!

Whatfor? It's a commercial application, mainly of interest for Canon printer users (like me, for instance!) and their stock installer works fine in Arch... Bought it, installed it, regged it and it works fine right-out-of-the-box (provided that CUPS is running).
Since it's closed source, it's not very likely to see a PKGBUILD anytime soon...
What's your problem with it?

Not to mention that the license clearly prohibits distributing it without their permission.
