   My printer is D300 series, specifically D320

   Yes, it is a 'windows thing' but according to the link I posted   
   https://github.com/ondrej-zary/carps-cups the author has reverse   
   engineered the windows driver to create a specific Linux driver for this   
   printer. I have downloaded the zip file, and unzipped it, and this is   
   what is in the folder https://auslink.info/linux/Canon D320 driver.png   
   but I don't know how install it.
