changed "Note:" to "How I figured this out:"
- I figured this out myself. I needed to install the [cnijfilter2](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cnijfilter2/) AUR package. Installing this package provided me with the correct PPD file (which was named `canontr4500.pdd`).
*Note:* I figured this out by reading the Canon section of the [CUPS/Printer-specific problems](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems) page on the Arch Wiki, which mentions that there are various Arch packages for various Canon printers. Furthermore, you can download the TR4522 driver from Canon's website as a debian, rpm, or source package. The source package is named `cnijfilter2-source-5.70-1.tar.gz`, which matches the name of the `cnijfilter2` AUR file.
