Thank you so much for your attention on this bug, but I'm sorry to say
that I cannot test it anymore--the printhead died on my Pixma about two
months ago and I no longer have the printer. And Randy, to respond, I
never saw a "client-error-not-possible" error before. Good luck! Since
there hasn't been activity, should the bug report be closed somehow?

Title:
  Canon PIXMA network printer discovery fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm sorry if this is redundant, since I have already posted
  information about it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/75887/how-
  do-i-add-a-canon-pixma-mx860-network-printer.

  I am running Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 on two computers, one is AMD-64bit
  architecture, the other i386--same problem on both. In 11.04 I could
  setup printing and scanning just fine, but after a fresh install of
  11.10, adding ppa:michael-gruz/canon, and installing cnijfilter-
  mx860series version 3.10-2ubuntu4 and scangearmp-common from the PPA,
  Ubuntu's system-config-printer cannot detect my network printer.

  In the previous installation it appeared as cnijnet://printers-mac-
  address. I know it should be able to see it because I can ping the
  printer at its IP address, I can browse the printer's web admin page
  from the computer, and my Windows guest in VirtualBox on the computer
  has no problem detecting and installing it. It seems like this problem
  is new to Oneiric.

  I found the following work around. The network printer can be
  installed if you enter the URI manually. When adding a new printer,
  select 'EnterURI' from the devices list and enter
  'cnijnet:/01-23-45-67-89-AB' where 01-23-45-67-89-AB is the MAC
  address of the printer. You have to manually select the printer model
  for the driver, but everything prints as it should.

  If that doesn't work, follow the manual instructions from
  http://linux.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Canon_PIXMA_to_work_on_Linux:

  $ cnijnetprn --search auto 
  <...Wait for system search...>
  network cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A "Canon MX860 series" "Canon-MX860-series_00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A"

  $ locate mx860.ppd
  /usr/share/cups/model/cnmx860.ppd
  /usr/share/ppd/cnmx860.ppd
  $ sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p CanonMX860 -m cnmx860.ppd -v cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A -E

  the '-p' option specifies printer name, the '-m' option specified ppd
  file, the ppd file for your printer should be included in your binary
  driver package and at this point should have been installed in
  /usr/share/ppd, the '-v' option specifies device uri (copy it from
  cnijnetprn's output).

  Scanning

  For scanning, edit /etc/saned/pixma.conf and add the line
  'bjnp://10.0.0.20' (the Pixma's IP address). Test to make sure Ubuntu
  can found it with

  $ scanimage -L
  device `pixma:MX860_10.0.0.20' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MX860 multi-Function peripheral

  You can additionally edit out unnecessary backends (all but pixma)
  from /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. That should speed the discovery up a bit.
  For more details, check out 'man sane-pixma'.

  Although I couldn't find any documentation as to why or how, the Canon network printer discovery protocol doesn't work right in 11.10 as it does in previous versions--perhaps a discovery timeout issue? Still, everything is up and running now, but it would be nice to work out of box in future releases.
