I am trying to hook up a Canon Selphy CP1200 via USB but just can't get it to work. I can see the printer when I run lsusb
... Bus 001 Device 016: ID 04a9:32b1 Canon, Inc. SELPHY CP1200
but I don't have the option to install it as a printer. I have tried using both the gnome printer manager and Turbo Print. Both have drivers for the printer but they can't seem to detect that it's available. Is there a way to point my system to that USB device specifically? I have gutenprint 5.3.1 and CUPS 2.2.10 installed
I ran journalctl --follow
and then plugged in the printer. Here is what I see
