I use a Canon Pixma MG8250 as home printer and scanner for my Gentoo Linux system. I never got the printer to work correctly via USB using only CUPS+Gutenprint drivers (no Canon proprietary software), so I switched to connecting the device via Ethernet to my router (lpd protocol). This works very well.
The scanner device (pixma) is detected by sane and I can read images using scanimage. When scanning color images in higher resolutions (>75 dpi) the colors are misaligned in the output file, only in the vertical direction. I found a bug report of a similar issue (concerning another Canon Pixma model) here: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=312022&group_id=30186&atid=410366 This seems to throw some light on the problem, but I don't dare open the source files and hack them myself...
