Wrong, a lot (most) of Canon MF units do not work in ubuntu, fedora, 
slackware, or any other nix i was able to test (I have a lot of friends 
who buy Canons for some unknown reason, likely due to all the TV spam from 
them :) So I often use my laptop to test and "for fun", see what works )

The gutenprint project is the saviour there for many, however you need to 
keep it up to date (but it is far from complete with many models still 
not working) something that ubuntu (and fedora) do not do.
