Canon PiXMA MP150, but my information seems to be out-dated as I just
checked LinuxPrinting.org and now it says it "mostly" works and there
even seems to be a scanner driver being developed... OK, so I am losing
reasons here :)

Yeah, I did, ages ago... even was testing some stuff for the person
trying to write a driver for it, but then it dried up as I seemed to be
the only person in the world wanting to use it under Linux.  This,
however, is an easy and cheap thing to remedy.

Hmm... time to wipe that test Vista partition off I think and put Ubuntu
back on :)  Well, maybe not right now...
