Installing Canon PIXMA MP210 on ArchLinux

So it took a little bit trial and error, but I finally got my printer working tonight.  Here's the just of what it took.

1. Follow steps here to get CUPS up and running.  Make sure to blacklist 'usblp'.
2. Install the cnijfilter-mp210 package from AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16696
3. Add 'acl' option to your root file system mount. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32959
4. I could see my printer was recognized now when plugged in from the output of 'dmesg |tail'.  But whenever I tried to print a test page I got an error in my cups log(http://localhost:631/admin/log/error_log) complaining like: '
   

   Unable to open listen socket for address ::1:631 - Address family not supported by protocol.'

5. I deleted the printer and reinstalled it. Pointed it to my ppd file in /usr/share/cups/model. And it works! I notice the device path in the printer config changed, maybe a bad one got autoconfiged before I did the blacklist. :/
   

Woot, let's burn some ink!

Really? I expected better from you.

From the Minnesota Independent:
Human Rights Campaign calls out Target, Best Buy over gift to MN Forward, Emmer’s ties to anti-gay ministry

I urge everyone to sign the petition so Target and Best Buy can try and reclaim some reputation. Then I can buy large packs of toilet paper and diapers without shame again.

Seeing this made the bad news a little bit better. :)
