Funny enough, my shitbox HP Inkjet is actually faster to install on Linux and Gnome Scan is way better than any proprietary scanning software I've used

    I could never get the scanner to work on that cannon printer. For printing, I couldn't get the paper size to work at all. My PDF paper size was A4, my phisical paper was A4, my printer was set to print on A4, but it still the footer was truncated from the page.

    Canon does make Linux drivers for at least some of their printers (like mine), but they can be hard to find. I can't remember exactly how I got to mine but I know it took a few attempts.

    Maybe you're particularly unlucky though, because my Canon works perfectly with either the built in CUPS driver or the one from Canon.
