Hi Bill,
I am the Canon maintaininer from the gutenprint project.
There is no TS6200 series support yet, although there is TS6000 series
support as you found.
So at the moment you cannot use gutenprint for this printer, although
I expect to be able to find time to work on support for some of the
newer TS series by April.

Best regards,
