How to install Canon mg3660

But this Canon WIFI thing is a bit strange to set up, as far as I can see… it has its own wifi “hotspot” ?

and yes needs most likely the driver @pebcak suggesting, same what canon provides as the driver for Linux on the website:

yay -S cnijfilter2-mg3600

If you want connect it over wifi i would recommend also to follow what you will find under troubleshooting on discovery printer wiki:

sudo pacman -S --needed nss-mdns
sudo nano /etc/nsswitch.conf

and change the hosts line to include mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] before resolve and dns

and:

sudo systemctl restart avahi-daemon NetworkManager

now it system-config-printer or cups webinterface http://localhost:631/ should be able to find the printer.
