The Canon drivers are more than adequate for printing text with 
low-res colour. For some users they are even good enough for photo 
printing. In any case, they are bound to be a lot better than the 
standard Canon drivers, simply because Gutenprint's colour processing 
and dithering is far more advanced. For more detailed comments you 
need to ask someone who has a Canon printer and who has tried it with 
Gutenprint.
