Basically, Canon  doesn't give a diddly d____ about Linux. The odds on 
your finding a Canon driver for your printer are slim and if you do find 
one, it will NOT be supported by Canon--the people who know Canon 
printers best.

After reading review after review that gave HP photo printers the 
highest ratings, and having decided to save a few bucks and buy one 
"almost as good", I now very much regret that decision. The paper & ink 
that I have wasted trying to get a picture to turn out correctly, with 
colors exactly what they should be, would have paid for the difference 
many times over. I seem to constantly have to re-learn the lesson: 
"Cheaper is frequently not less expensive." One of these days we'll buy 
a new printer and it will absolutely be the best HP that I can afford 
(or at least talk my wife into). FWIW, HP has a very "Linux friendly" 
history.

Just my $0.o2 based on personal experience.
