did not see your reply to just now. I can report I am now printing on usb canon. Ink for Epson dried up but reported job complete. As I am pensioner, I am binning the Epson as it was a basic printer to begin with and its actually cheaper to buy a new printer than buy refills.
ON 32 bit Not sure if I needed to but re-compiled gtk2 and gutenprint and then re-compiled ghostscript without recompiling anything else, altho I can see cups-filters might get my attention.
--- Code: ---strings /usr/local/bin/gs | grep libidn
tc@box:~/Downloads$
--- End code ---
If you would like to re-compile ghostscript, I used
SRC=ghostscript-9.52
compiletc wget squashfs-tools zsync xz cups-dev cairo-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev lcms2-dev libXt-dev
# libXt-dev not detected until make
cd $SRC
rm -rf expat freetype lcms2mt jpeg libpng
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-system-libtiff --localstatedir=/var --enable-dynamic --disable-compile-inits
make -j5 takes 3.5 minutes
dep list modest change to remove libtiff as we are using GS
libcups.tcz
lcms2.tcz
fontconfig.tcz
libpng.tcz
If you do not have time, depending on your priorities, would you like me to submit a TCE
I promise I will re-check my crap. But I can see this pdf test is a pass

exit the GUI causes a trivial error IMHO

offtopic but does affect my testing of wireless printing with my canon.
I think I used a different router to sync with my wl canon. So far, I have failed to get cups to see a wl canon that claims it has a "direct" wireless setting....with or without avahi running.
My router is not seeing any wl device. So I have to delay any gutenprint submission until I have exhausted my last 6 brain cells ;D

aarch64 avahi issues and modest success
####################
Build script has --localstatedir=/var, attempts to use --runstatedir=/var fails as configure output shows
--- Quote ---avahi socket:/run/avahi-daemon/socket
--- End quote ---
Attempt to fix Makefile....looks good but still fails....still "makes" to /run
--- Code: ---sed 's|avahi_runtime_dir = /run|avahi_runtime_dir = /var/run|' -i Makefile
sed 's|avahi_socket = /run/avahi-daemon/socket|avahi_socket = /var/run/avahi-daemon/socket|' -i Makefile
--- End code ---
after load and start daemon....I wonder does it really matter as avahi first tests without cups built appear ok
--- Code: ---ls /run/avahi-daemon/
pid socket
tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/avahi stop
tc@box:~$ ls /run/avahi-daemon/
tc@box:~$ SNIP.....avahi is not running

Question Can I continue or does it matter that run for this daemon needs to be /var/run and not /run
If it does matter I will probably look to an older version that does not know about systemd
thanks for reading
Juanito:
I believe that will be OK.
