The Canon and ESPON printers have been installed with Ubuntu7.10 since Ubuntu6.06, and my two Canon printers (PixmaiP1300 and iP1700) have been unable to work because no matching driver support is found, very depressed! I installed the new version Ubuntu7.10 a few days ago. Try two more machines. I thought about how to find a solution in Google. I found a Blog in English.
