It's not listed in the linux foundation's supported printer list, which is
always a good place to look before buying a
printer:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting
However, there appears to be a proprietary Canon driver .deb package for Ubuntu
10.04 here, which may work for you:
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100301702.html
You do have to scroll down a l o n g way to get to the download link.
or there is a tarball
here:

If none of those work, try posting :
Output of dmesg after you plug it in?
Output of lsusb when plugged in?
Good luck.
