Alien is the option I first used when I got the printer years ago and it

worked then

Thereafter canon started supplying debs. So far so good in the 32-bit world.
Come the 64-bit era and I find there are only 32 bit debs.

So alien was the first option I tried. It did not work.

The two other options are

- compile from source

- use 32 bit deb with ia32
The first did not go through. I have to try harder I guess

The second Ive not yet tried
