Found a link in the Mageia Forum. Long story short, led me to search at the Canon website, lo an behold, they have a RPM for the printer.

Untared the file, ran the 3 RPMs that came with it, and works like a champ. What is odd is, on my laptops, seems not to work directly with the x86 RPMs. I enabled the sharing on my Dell 64 system and use it as a print server. One laptop refuses to connect in any way, however, that one, is not a big deal.
is a nice Color Laser printer, the wife paid $125 new from Staples. Also, the neat thing is that has a Wireless NIC, RJ45 and USB. Setup as Wireless, and all you have to plug it for power. The Wireless setup is not that easy, took me a while to get that bad boy going.
