Setting up Wireless Cannon Printer MG3260

Hello I am not that familiar with setting up CUPS so can someone please point me in the right direction, I have looked at the wiki page for CUPS but there is nothing about Wireless Network Printers

I am not saying this is necessarily the best solution, but it is a possible solution.

As an alternative, you may find some pre-packaged drivers for your printer in the AUR repository, or try the Gutenprint drivers.

Note that the cnijnet URI is specific to the drivers downloaded from Canon (as far as I know).  There are other URI's that may work such as lpd://192.168.0.5/LPT1 for example.
