I work with this printer for last yaer. To make it work on my Ubuntu 16.04 64bit, printer Canon MF217w was connected to my PC by network(wifi).

1) I downloads drivers from official site. Here is link.

2) Unpack archive. And go to unpacked folder. Here you could find install.sh file.

3) Run this file in console. By the way, use "bash", NOT "sh".

sudo bash install.sh

4) Than, you can add your printer in "System Settings"=>"Printers"=>"Add"=>"Network Printer"
