Thanks for your response. I downloaded the tarball and compiled the 
necessary cups filters for Canon MG2400. Here is what I now have in 
/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter :

/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter <<: ls
bannertopdf    gstoraster     pdftoopvp      pstops rastertohp     textonly
cmdtocanonij   gziptoany      pdftopdf       pstopxl rastertolabel  
texttopdf
commandtoescpx imagetopdf     pdftops        pstoraster rastertopclx   
texttops
commandtopclx  imagetops      pdftoraster    rastertodymo rastertopdf    
urftopdf
commandtops    imagetoraster  pstocanonij    rastertoepson rastertopwg
gstopxl        pdftoijs       pstopdf        rastertoescpx sys5ippprinter

When I try to print a test page or a text file, the printer blinks 1-2 
times and nothing happens.

Here a few lines from cups' error log :

E [25/Feb/2016:10:53:58 +0530] Missing <Job #> directive on line 27 of /var/db/cups/job.cache.

Then I tried using the cupsd.conf available at freebsd forums, with the result :

/usr/local/etc/cups <<: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart
WARNING: failed to start cupsd

The error log in /var has the following lines :
E [25/Feb/2016:12:23:04 +0530] Unknown directive BrowseAllow on line 15 of /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Thanks for any further help.
