Setup Pixma TS 5050 driver for NixOS

I struggled to launch a print job from NixOS on My Canon Pixma TS5050. The solution is actually very simple (credit to this post). You just need to add this to you configuration.nix :

{config, pkgs, ... }: 
{
  # ...
  services.printing = {
    enable = true;
    drivers = [ pkgs.cnijfilter2 ];
  
  };
  # ...
}

and then rebuild your system with : sudo nixos-rebuild switch

And that’s it !

Environnement

• Nix 2.18.8
• NixOS 24.05
• Canon Pixma TS5050
