I do not have a Canon printer, but there is an article on the Mandrake club 
page which might interest you. If you are not a member here is the relevent 
text

"Canon
Canon makes some rather cool Color inkjet printers (S600, S800, ..), which 
produce very fine quality photo printing at affordable price. Both ink and 
printers are fairly priced, and many people are swearing that the quality of 
prints on their S* model is at least as good as on Epsons, for a fraction of 
price. 
Unfortunately, free drivers for these printers do not match the quality of 
the drivers offered for HP and Epson models, and the only way to get a 
photo-quality prints on these printers is by using the "turbo print" drivers.
An RPM with turbo-print drivers is available for download on MandrakeClub. 
Turbo-print drivers are reported to work nicely, but please keep in mind that 
these drivers are neither "free software", not "propriatery but free of 
charge": they come as a "shareware", with special conditions for private use."

Turbo Print is on the commercial CD's of a Mandrake power pack or may be 
downloaded for free for personal use (with slightly degraded performance 
compared to the paid for version) from http://www.turboprint.de/english.html

I have heard that it is really good :-)
