I think you will find the Canon bargain printers to be as bad as most 
Lexmark bargain printers.  Both are poorly supported in Linux and 
neither company supports Linux very well.  Lexmark does provide some 
Linux drivers, but they seem to be poorly written and many I have 
talked to mention it will only do B&W with those!  If you check the 
mail archives, you will find several Canon problems or complaints in 
getting those to work well.

Best bet, stay with the better supported brands, Epson or HP, who also 
heavily support Linux.
