Need help on Canon Wi-Fi printer


Hello folks,
Maybe someone have experience or could help me with the issue with my wireless Canon MX410 printer?
I"ve bought this printer but Canon does not provide support on Linux. I downloaded and installed drivers for printing and for scanning. I figured out how to connect printer wirelessly to router and I can print now.
The problem is with scanning. When I try to scan document it does not recognize computer to connect with ... while it recognizes it when I'm printing.
Could someone try help me with it?
I have 2 laptops: one is running Ubuntu and another Fedora and both have the same issue with scanning.
Thanks in advance.

in fedora if it is not in cups then contact the manufacture
but seeing as cannon dose not support anything but MS ????

can you plugin the printer to the usb or is it ONLY wireless

as to a scanner from cannon
give up and use Windows7
if you own a Mac
install win 7 on the mac

you basically have two options

buy different hardware
or buy and install Windows7 business ( win7 home is missing a LOT of needed things )
