Driver to print from a Cannon imageCLASS MF244dw on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

  • 772

I'm unable to find a driver for a Canon imageCLASS MF244dw on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I found a rather old ppa for this but it doesn't appear to work I get the following after adding it as a repository and running apt-get:

W: The repository 'https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon xenial Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Also, I don't really see the printer on the list. If I share the printer via a machine that has the drivers (a Windows machine) over Samba would it still be possible to print?

    4. The new printer came up in the list (it was connected to the network).
