I need to manually install a printer without running any cups command, by copying files from a Debian system where the printer is already installed. I have to proceed by this way in order to make a Debian live DVD where the printer will be installed. So, if I use the Canon installer, it will connect to the cups server of the host, and will install the printer on the host, instead of installing it in the chroot. The printer is a Canon G3560, connected on usb. The device URI is cnijbe2://Canon/?port=usb&serial=60A386. I have copied the driver's Debian package cnijfilter2_6.10-1_amd64.deb in config/packages.chroot/ of the live DVD building directory. And I have copied the files /etc/cups/ppd/G3060USB.ppd and /etc/cups/printers.conf to the live DVD building directory: config/includes.chroot_after_packages/etc/cups/. When I run the live system, it shows the printer, but the system is unable to print any document.
