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?

Your post and ppd file is great but unfortunately I can't get it to print successfully on my chromebook Version 128.0.6613.161 (Official Build) (64-bit). The PPD successfully installs but when printing, the job just stays in the queue and nothing prints.  The ix6850 is on the network (wired) and I can bring up the printer network config webpage no problem, so it is connected.  If you have any troubleshooting tips or updates that would be really useful. thanks in advance
