Well over a decade ago, I got my Canon BJC 4000 supported via 
proprietary drivers (payware) from a third party company. It was a one 
time payment fairly priced and got my printer working perfectly till I 
ditched it for a laser from hp. I forget the name of the drivers, could 
be "turboprint", but I don't remember. And I don't know if they are 
still doing support for newer Canon printers.

I refused later to buy a Canon camera for that reason, even though they 
are good cameras.
