Anyone Have a Canon MP Series Printer Working Wirelessly with Slack ?

I bought a Canon MP560 printer back in January. Very impressed with its print quality, but, cannot get it set up for wireless in Slack 13.0_x64. I downloaded and unzipped the Canon IJ_Linux_Printer_Driver_Source_320-1 from one of Canon's sites. Untarring it yeilds the cnijfilter-source-3.20-1 zipped archive. Unzipped that and tried to get it set up. First off, there's a bunch of sub folders and no overall instructions as to which order to compile the folders. When running "make" on the backendnet subfolder, I get the following error:

Code:

gcc -O2 -Wall -I. -I./common -o cnijnetprn cnijnetchk.o cnijnetprn.o  -L/usr/local/canon/cnijfilter-source-3.20-1/com/libs_bin -lcnnet -lc -ldl -lcups  
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/canon/cnijfilter-source-3.20-1/com/libs_bin/libcnnet.so when searching for -lcnnet
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/4.3.3/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcnnet
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [cnijnetprn] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/canon/cnijfilter-source-3.20-1/backendnet/lmonitor'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/canon/cnijfilter-source-3.20-1/backendnet'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I'm not sure what's going on here. I was able to successfully compile the pstocanonij subfolder and it setup the executable pstocanonij file under /usr/local/lib/cups/filter. I symlinked it to /usr/local/lib64/cups/filter/pstocanonij and /usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstocanonij after reading the one post I could find on Google for (cannon find) lcnnet. Nothing else compiles and I get the same error as above with the other folders.
Does anyone have one of these printers, or similar like a MP610, 620, etc setup wirelessly on a Slack 64 build?
If so, how?

thanks

I have one working wirelessly here (MP620B) on Slackware 13.1 x86_64. I had to install alienbob's multilib libraries for the 32-bit blob to work, but it was otherwise according to the published docs.

That's interesting.... My Slack 13.0_x64 is multilib enabled, yet, I'm having the above problems. Perhaps there's something in 13.1 which allows it to compile successfully. I'm still stuck.
