I have installed garuda-printer and cups and was able to configure the printer using cups web interface. However, the scanner does not work
It detects scanner as WSD <Scanner/Printer Name> and states "unable to connect to scanner" when tried to scan.
I have re-installed the garuda-printer and cups few time after rebooting, but no luck so far. I was hoping if someone has solution or ran into similar problem
Printer/Scanner: Canon MF8200C Series
Garuda KDE edition
Thanks for response. I have followed these steps and still unable to configure the printer properly. This is network printer and connected via Wi-Fi
I looked up some sites and it informs me to execute “sudo pacman -S system-config-printer“, but still no luck
So not sure if there is anything related to firewall that needs to be configured. I will continue to troubleshoot it
This is what happens in Garuda KDE
When I select Cannon MF8200C Series, fully driverless, cups-filters 1.28.2 (en)
Unable to add printer:
Unable to copy PPD file.
So I selected
Cannon MF8200C Series, IPP Everywhere, Printer gets added, but it mentions “Local Raw Printer”. Both printer and scanner does not work
I can attach the screenshot if required
NOTE: From ther Arch KDE distro system, this is working, It mentions ; “CNMF8200C Series, driverless, cups-filter 1.27.
I may have mis stated earlier, that changing firewall profile worked...It added printer but the driver mentioned "Local Raw printer" and not "Driverless cups..."
I disable the firewall and still getting unable to copy PPD files
Here is the error log

------------------
Installed cndrvcups-lb-bin 3.70-1 and selected the UFR II driver and was able to print and scan ... now... it seems like using "Cannon MF8200C Series, fully driverless, cups-filters 1.28.2 (en)" it was unable to copy PPD file, but with other KDE Distro using "Cannon MF8200C Series, fully driverless, cups-filters 1.28.1 (en)" (one point version lower worked.
For now, it seems solved, but will continue to try to see why "Cannon MF8200C Series, fully driverless, cups-filters 1.28.2 (en)" driver is unable to copy PPD file using cups web interface
Changed the firewall to “trusted” mode in change zone. Make sure to select “Permanent” and reload the firewall if needed
systemctl enable ipp-usb (I did not use it as i was using Wi-Fi network attached printer)
At this point, it is better to reboot your machine
Go to Cups web-interface and try to configure the printer and select “ ully driverless, cups-filters 1.28.2 (en)” (Note: The version of cups-filters may be different
If you are able to configure and check the printer properties shows cups-filters as driver for your printer, then you are all set.
For me, the Cannon MF8280C printer was visible/identified in cups-web interface but was not able to configure the printer and was getting “Unable to copy PPD file”
For this I have installed cndrvcups-lb-bin 3.70-1 (your version may be different when you try to install)
I had some challenges in using skanlite, so i installed simple-scan for scanner. But you can you use your choice of application
