I am trying to install my PIXMA G3202 on Gnome Nightly Linux. I have the rpm driver downloaded from the canon website. All instructions I find don't work. I can't use apt install or dnf install as Gnome nightly does not have these commands. Gnome uses flatpak and ostree for installing. I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. Searching Google gets me the same results, sudo apt install or sudo dng install and that gives me a command not found. Please help!!! I had no problems installing on Debian systems but this Gnome Nightly OS is kicking my butt with this printer.

Is the correct Canon CUPS driver located here?

Also I do have the drivers package from Canon but when I choose the PPD file it installs the printer but says cmdtocanonij2 not found and it's in the directory that it says.
/usr/lib/cups/filter

I came to the conclusion it just can't be done on Gnome Nightly. I switched to Fedora and no problems. The drivers are included. I didn't have to do anything.
