I and another Linux user canvassed Canon for years to try to get them
to release drivers for their printers. No go, they were just not
interested.
On Debian Linux systems, have found HP printers are good and Epson
printers to be good as well.
Brother printers can be made to work, but it's onerous and not all the
features work. Maybe it's just the models that I have tried to get
working are not the models that Debian printing packages favour. So
have installed the closest possible. Therefore not full featured.
Be well,
Charlie
