You need to specify the exact model of Kodak printer and Canon camera.
There is not much support for the Kodak all in one (5100's etc) that I
am aware of. But other Kodaks do have drivers available:

This may work for ESP 5xxx:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/

Canon cameras are well supported. Provide the model and I reckon that
you'll find it's supported in Ubuntu/linux. GTkam provides considerable
support for Canon's.

In addition to the suggestions for installing a VM (VirtualBox etc), you
could try the drivers in Wine if it comes to that.
