Canon MP190 + CUPS

I have a problem making this printer to work under 32bit Arch. As i understand i need to install cups-canon-3.00 from AUR but when i try i get this error:

id.po:1584: number of format specifications in 'msgid' and 'msgstr' does not match
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
make[2]: *** [id.gmo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-lana/aur-cups-canon-3.00/src/cnijfilter-common-3.00/printui/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-lana/aur-cups-canon-3.00/src/cnijfilter-common-3.00/printui'
make: *** [all] Error 2
    Aborting...

Any ideas? Is there another way to make this device work?

For some tasks, the CLI is quicker. That's not elitism nor arrogance, that's just a fact of life.

Not meaning to bring up a three month old thread, but I'm having the same problem under a 32-bit Arch install. Non-testing repositories. Any ideas?

Builds fine on my x86_64 laptop, fwiw.

Re: Canon MP190 + CUPS

to install this driver in a 32 bit machine there might be an error with msgfmt when it has the parameter -c (as explained in http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=389 ) you need to change the makefile in src/cnijfilter-common-3.00/printui/po/Makefile

this should be with no parameters  (line 44)

MSGFMT_OPTS = -c //remove this line

and re-run the makepkg command.

anyway if you trust me and you don't want to manually compile everything this is the resulting package
