Printing under Ubuntu

[Simon]

My Canon Printer/Scanner combo recently died and apparently it's cheaper 
for the warranty company to offer me a cheque for $103 rather than fix 
the thing.  What I'm interested in is what printer/scanner combos others 
have had success with under Ubuntu. 

The cannon functioned but only just.  I could only print at 600dpi.

It doesn't really matter how the scanner functions under linux as the 
machine will be attached to a Windows box and I'll be printing to it via 
samba.  (Unless someone can explain how I can hook the printer/scanner 
up to my file/print server [Ubuntu Hardy] and print *and* scan with it 
from both Windows *and* Ubuntu)

Thanks.
Simon Ives.
