There's a difference between "unfriendly" and "not automatically detected". If you want unfriendly, look to lexmark. As I understand

I would include the Canon Pixma multifunctions in the unfriendly category. I have an MP450 and had to get a 3rd party closed driver to support the scanner and everything.

I maybe could have made it work given time, but I needed both the printer and scanner up and running in about 2 hours.

(Of course, this was a few months ago and the whole support/non-support may have changed.)

Even with that, if I need something to look "just so", it's better to hook it up to my Windows laptop instead of my Linux desktop.
