|| Canon || PIXMA MP960 || Canon PIXMA iP6700 || Yes || Yes || v8.10 (Intrepid) || Detected correctly as Canon MP960. You have to fool the computer into thinking it is a PIXMA iP6700. The iP6700 and the MP960 use the same kind of ink cartridges, but the MP960 has a seventh one (PGI-5BK Pigment Black) used for text purpose only. I believe this last cartridge is not used by the driver at all. Printing quality is very good for text. Pictures look a little bit washed out, but you can improve this if you change the default settings offered (brightness, contrast, saturation). Resolution locked to 600x600 DPI (this is a printer with a resolution of 9600 x 2400 DPI). || 2008-Nov-09 ||

|| Canon || MP530 || BJC-7000 || No || Yes || v9.10 (Karmic) || Printer works if you assign the BJC-7000 Gimp driver to it using the add printer wizard. Scanning works fine as well. I have had issues with paper drawing from the lower cassette. This is true of the MP500 driver as well. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't.
