I have had the same problem as the user in the thread here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102291
I had installed the printer in 64 bit ubuntu by forcing the .deb's to install but obviously didn't want to do that on Arch.
I extracted the .deb's and manually copied them in before I read the thread about creating a package from them.
Anyway I then found the thread and installed lib32-libpng12 in the hope that it would then work.
I am still getting the error:
stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed"
in cups.
I've done a lot of googling and have had no luck.
Any ideas much appreciated.
some possible useful info:
$ ldd pstocanonij
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf771b000)
libpopt.so.0 => not found
libcups.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libcups.so.2 (0xf76b0000)
libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7564000)
libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf753f000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libcrypt.so.1 (0xf750d000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf74f8000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf771c000)
its the
libpopt.so.0 => not found
[ line that interests me as that should have been install when I manually copied in the files.

There is a section in the wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Canon_iP4300
where the following is needed:
Creating links for libs
The driver needs a few additional libraries for which you have to create links. You can find the missing libraries by running the executable files in /usr/local/bin/ that you have copied earlier. You'll probably have to link
ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so.3
ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1
I guess I just have to do the same for libpopt.so.0 but it already has a symlink to libpopt.so.0.0.0
however as the symlink libpopt.so.0 is in /lib and the rest of the files used by pstocanonij are in /usr/lib32 maybe it should be there?
However when I type:
cd /usr/lib32/
ln -s /lib/libpopt.so.0.0.0 libpopt.so.0
and restart cups it makes no difference.

Just found the following: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41797

I have now learned my lesson.
Always check the AUR before trying somthing long and stupid.
You may now laugh at me.
