I have the MP640 which has Wifi, so my setup is different (easier). Do
you have the 'gutenprint' package installed? This provides the MP630
PPD file:

  $ pacman -Qo /usr/share/cups/model/C/stp-bjc-MP630-series.5.2.ppd.gz
  /usr/share/cups/model/C/stp-bjc-MP630-series.5.2.ppd.gz is owned by
gutenprint 5.2.10-1

I do not use cnijfilter, that code is very, very old for MP630/MP640
and I think 32bit (?), I only use the gutenprint MP640 PPD file; after
installing gutenprint, try doing this:

  $ sudo gzip -dc
/usr/share/cups/model/C/stp-bjc-MP630-series.5.2.ppd.gz >
/etc/cups/ppd/Canon-MP630.ppd

This process is supposed to be automatic from cupsd when you configure
the printer, but maybe try it manually. My configuration
/etc/cups/printers.conf is below but again -- it's WiFi so yours will
be different and show the USB connection instead:

I hope this helps!
