This may be slightly off topic, but I can report that I have gotten my Canon MP620 working in Siduction 12.1 (a derivative of Debian sid), which is using CUPS 1.5.3. It was not easy, because CUPS detected the printer, but not its address. So I followed some instructions in the CUPS doc to add the printer to my hosts file and add its MAC address and IP address to dhcpd.conf. Viola!
I find it mildly amusing that this offshoot of Debian testing running the very latest 3.4 Linux kernel allows me to use my printer while the "thoroughly tested" Ubuntu LTS does not.
