Problems with installing printer

Ive got Canon PIXMA MP210, I installed gutenprint and blacklisted usblp. Still, my printer remains undetected by cups.

"dmesg |tail" gives me this

Re: Problems with installing printer

I don't know anything about that printer, but does it have a memory card slot?

There is a driver in the AUR you might try.
