My understanding is that Canon is about the most Linux-unfriendly

provide a description of how the hardware works so that open source
people could develop one. So Canon printers have always sucked under
Linux due to lack of anything other than a generic Postscript driver. A
shame too since they make good printers according to my artist wife.
Your understanding is incorrect. Although Canon doesn't directly
support Linux, the OS driver I have works fine for everything except
printing a pdf. And, after a bit of questioning on a forum, I'm able to
use lp to do that from a command line. Therefor, it's not a driver
issue. Still don't know why evince doesn't do the job, but I'm still
hoping.
