You may very well find that the consensus around here is that you 
should go buy an Epson or HP. My old Stylus Photo 950 works very 
nicely indeed. With an Epson you should be able to also use the 
escputil package to do ink level checks, nozzle checks, head cleaning etc.

My personal experience of Canon printers would suggest that the best 
thing to do with one is to place it between the surfaces of a 
hydraulic press and push the red button (demonstrated at the end of 
Terminator) so that it occupies less space in the landfill.
