   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.i   
   fo/linux/Canon D320 driver.png but I don't know how install it.

   It seems to build OK, once you use Synaptic and add the items   
   indicated in the build list.   
      
   Requirements: make, gcc  ["build-essential, already installed?"]   
                 libcups2-dev,       <=== pulling in this one, may pull in the   
   rest   
                 libcupsimage2-dev,   
                 cups-ppdc,   
                 libtiff-dev   
      
                 To compile, then install as root   
                 $ make   
                 $ sudo make install   
      
   But I can't test this for you, without a printer to try.
