Canon had been challenging for me in the past years. Looking for drivers in
their Japanese site or if I'm lucky their Eurpean (but always hidden in
some dark corner).
You can download the drivers from here:
http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MX376&menu=download&filter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Linux
It does some really ugly things (especially if you have a network device -
scanning all the subnets you're connected to, IP by IP, finally keeping
only the mac-address of the device, then every use scan for the IP again),
but eventually it works.
You might also need to fix some shared-object dependencies (symlinking some
SOs).

Anyway - these tools worked for me with the MX470 device with Fedora17 & 18.

Hope it'll help.
