I, personally, use the Cannon MF-4270. I had to hack some bugs out of
sane's pixma driver, but once I did that, it worked fine. The fixes went
upstream, they should be in the next version of sane, so until then
you'll have to pull them out of CVS and temporarily build your own driver.
The MF-4270 is really a multifunction scanner/copier/printer/fax
machine. AFAIK, there is no support for the printer part of it, in CUPS,
but I don't need the printer+fax functionality. It works fine for me as
a scanner+copier. Supports both the flatbed and the document feeder, for
scanning.
The actual printer _device_ driver for CUPS is often gutenprint[1].
I have seen a far amount of traffic on the gutenprint list[2] where some folks
are trying to support some of the cannon equipment. And as you don't seem to
be adverse to working out of a dev repository, perhaps you might want to take
a look and see if your multifunction device is already supported or if you
could give them the few needed pointers to get it supported.
