I have one of these printers. The only way I ever got it working was using gimp-print(?) and CUPS. lpr and all of that wouldn't work. Also with this setup the quality was awful. It would only do greyscale. When I hooked the same printer to a Win9x computer with the Canon drivers it printed just fine. The printer has since run out of ink and I haven't gotten around to spending another $35 for ink for the $80 printer. I had this working around 4-6 months ago.
