i have been trying to get this old piece of HW working under UBUNTU 20.04. Finally, I came to a old solution (How do I get a Canon PIXMA ip1900 to work?). My attempts to recreate it lead me to do following additional steps:
edit debian/control to require libcups2-dev instead of libcupsys2-dev and libtiff5-dev instead of libtiff-dev (these packages are no longer available)
edit debian/compat to 9 instead of 4. No idea why, i admitt. But it seemed to be working. But then...

However, libtool is already installed. Something to do now? I admit, I have no idea what I am doing, just do not want to switch to WIN10 whenever I want to print anything.
