Using a PIXMA iX6820 in a Chromebook without Google Cloud Print?

DataMeister

With Google Cloud Print closing down at the end of 2020, what is the best way to use the PIXMA iX6820 with Chromebooks?

 

When I go into Chrome OS printer settings the "Canon iX6800 series" is listed with a Set up button next to it.  I can then choose the manufacturer as Canon, but the exact model isn't listed.

 

  • Is there a similar wide format printer under different model number?
  • Is there PPD file that would work?
  • Is there some other method Canon plans to provide to make this work with ChromeOS?

I have a Pixma ix6820 - when I go to print - the dialogue box only brings up three options under Media Type: Envelope, Photo and Paper. No other options for glossy paper, matee paper, specialty paper etc. come up. I feel like i've downloaded the correct driver but still nothing. The method for adjusting color ratios for RGB and CYMK also seem to be missing. 

Thanks for any help.
