Edit 2017-05-25: For Buntu 16.04 there is another solution.

A lot of advice on Canon Pixmas exist, but the quality of said advice varies a lot.
Here's a guide for a Pixma MP610 (and similar printers) running from a 64 bit Lubuntu 13.10.
Without USB cable attached: Reset the printer on the display.
Run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and
Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
just to make sure that everything is up to speed. Reboot as needed.
After that
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-mp610series
Now connect the USB cable.
Go to System -> Printers
Click 'add printer'.
Wait a couple of minutes until you see MP610 in the window to the left.
Select the printer and proceed with next, next, next, finish.
Now printing should work and the same goes for Simple Scan, the built-in scanning application in Lubuntu.
