I have checked and Gutenprint seems to not support this printer, so the
only solution is a driver from Canon. The Canon driver does not install
because it has dependencies on libcupsys2 though. A possible solution
would be if we introduce the transitional packages names ...cupsys...
again, for manufacturer-supplied legacy drivers. This would be a
solution only for legacy drivers. manufactutrers are encouraged to
provide decent LSB-based packages:

as Epson already does (see all "epson-..." driver entries):

http://www.openprinting.org/drivers/

I move this to cups as there we could introduce the transitional
packages.
