As I mentioned in the other thread, if you have a Canon printer,
TurboPrint is far superior to the open-source drivers. It is not free
software, but I encourage anyone to download it and give it a try. I
think it is worth paying for if it works for you. Of course if Canon
supported linux better themselves it wouldn't be necessary.
