How to easily configure Canon LBP-1120 printer on Arch Linux

Install packages: capt-src and cups Then follow simple instruction, <> used for templating:

1. Add yourself to lp group:

    sudo gpasswd -a <your_name> lp
   

   Relogin to your session.

2. Connect printer to your computer, turn it on, start/restart CUPS:

    sudo systemctl restart org.cups.cupsd.service
   

3. Find correct .ppd file for your printer in /usr/share/cups/model/ directory. In my case that was CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd

4. Then execute:

    /usr/bin/lpadmin -p <name_of_printer> -m <name_of_corresponding_ppd_file> -v ccp://localhost:59678 -E
   

5. Now you can easily cd /dev/usb/ and ls. Just find name of your lp* device. In my case it was lp2.

   Attention! Note that you have to provide full path! For example: /dev/usb/lp2

6. Execute:

    ccpdadmin -p <name_of_printer> -o <udev_device>
   

7. And enable ccpd daemon:

    sudo systemctl enable ccpd.service
