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.
