I would include the Canon Pixma multifunctions in the unfriendly
category. I have an MP450 and had to get a 3rd party closed driver to
support the scanner and everything.

I maybe could have made it work given time, but I needed both the
printer and scanner up and running in about 2 hours.

(Of course, this was a few months ago and the whole
support/non-support may have changed.)

Even with that, if I need something to look "just so", it's better to
hook it up to my Windows laptop instead of my Linux desktop.
