Yes. I bought an A40 last month, which works perfectly using Debian
(kernel 2.4.20) and gphoto2 2.1.1. I use gtkam as a front-end. The only
problem I had right at first was forgetting to switch the camera into
playback mode and spending an hour or so wondering why the USB subsystem
had no idea of its existence. :-) That was entirely user error.
If you google for "A40 Debian", you should find
http://www.edginet.org/techie/linux/canon.html, which is an excellent
reference.
I don't print pictures these days, so I've no idea what the A40 is like
for that, but it seems to produce excellent results for photos on web
pages.
