There's nothing much we can do here. They've linked dynamically against
a very old version of libtiff. libtiff is not listed in LSB that I can
see, so we're not obliged to carry some old version of it for LSB
compliance, and Fedora in general is reluctant to carry -compat packages
with old builds of libraries unless there's a really clear need for it,
and one random printer driver probably doesn't constitute a 'really
clear need'. The only thing Fedora could potentially do here is
introduce a libtiff3-compat or whatever package, but I doubt that'd
happen, and barring that, all you can do is source some old build of
libtiff yourself, or ask Canon to improve their driver package.
