My last post on battling with the Canon LBP6020 seems to have been quite
populer (my one and only post that regularly appears near the top of a
relevant google search), however it's getting a bit old now (Ubuntu
14.04).
I switched my daily laptop from Ubuntu to Arch Linux about a year ago,
and at the time was able to install the Canon drivers through the AUR
and everything was fine (as much as it ever is with a LBP6020).
Sometime earlier this year a regular update changed all that and it
hasn't worked since.
I finally got around to learning about docker and thought that it might
provide a solution to the LBP6020, i.e. a stable environment in which to
run the driver.
Now thanks to ticosax/cups-in-docker and Nik I've got a docker container
which appears to be reliably printing (although admittedly with only a
little testing).
If you're running Ubuntu 16.04, or any other linux capable of running
docker, this may provide a simple way to get a LBP6020 printing.
The docker image can be built from:

Instructions are in the readme.
