I like the idea of this but the ipp driver is rubbish. I have a canon gx6000 and setting up the ipp driver makes the printing unbearably slow and the quality of the print is terrible. Also the initial connection to the printer is also terribly slow compared to the canon driver so I hope you fix this by July because it's basically unusable in its current state.
