I second that.
Turboprint is quite cheap (40 EUR AFAICR) and it works great with a large 
number of printers.
My Canon i965 works perfectly with it.

Too bad it's not well supported out-of-the-box with OSS software but hey, it's 
cheap and show
support to a small business that has been implementing Linux printer drivers 
for many years ;)
And there isn't that much choice. HP inkjet printers s**k, are slow and their 
ink cardridges are
very expensive. Epson.. well... no OSS drivers either and I had it with Epson 
in the past.
Canon inkjet printers are the best (IMVHO) and, well, I see those 40 EUR as 
part of the printer
purchasing price ;)

Apart from that, as Manfred said, Turboprint is perfectly integrated into CUPS 
and has many options,
also for calibration.

cheers
