For infromation on supported printers, I suggest looking at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/.  Canons multifunction devices are not
recommended.  Not only do they not support Unix, they also don't support
MacOS.  HP actually provides linux support for their products.  I
haven't tried hooking my OfficeJet 6110 up to a BSD machine yet, but I
think it should work.
