--------------------------------------------------------------

Download drivers for Linux from Canon
unzip Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN.tar.gz
cd Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V250_uk_EN/64-bit_Driver/RPM/
alien --to-deb --scripts cndrvcups-common-2.50-1.x86_64.rpm
alien --to-deb --scripts cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-2.50-1.x86_64.rpm
apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs lib32z1
dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_2.50-2_amd64.deb cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_2.50-2_amd64.deb
cp /usr/lib64/libcanon* /usr/lib
apt-get install libjpeg62 libjpeg62:i386

Note:

It is weird but you could need to modify the file /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.cupsd adding this lines:

/usr/lib64/cups/backend/cnusb Uxr,
/usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstoufr2cpca Uxr,
