[Nix-dev] canon mp280 printer/scanner drivers

[Tomas Hlavaty]

Hi,

I would like to get Canon Pixma mp280 to work with NixOS.  The printer
works but it doesn't recognise the scanner.  The only thing I found in
nixpkgs is pkgs/misc/cups/drivers/canon/default.nix but that seems to
install support for ghostscript and targets other device.  There are
Debian drivers at
http://support-nz.canon.co.nz/contents/NZ/EN/0100301402.html#content
(the real download is
<http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwMzAxNDAx&cmp=ABS&lang=EN>).
Is there an example how to handle such situation, e.g. install kernel
drivers based on a debian package?

Thank you,

Tomas
