Sounds incomplete then - all the artisan series can do DVD/CD
printing (according to their website anyway).

I'll probably go with the Epson Artisan over the canon. Not

and I have found at least one set of notes where someone
got everything working on ubuntu using the 3rd party drivers
for some bits that weren't supported natively.
