There are no drivers for Canon printers under Linux by Canon itself, and word has it hell well freeze over before they will publish one.
Yet the I865 is a beast of a printer in its pricerange (and relatively low cost per page, see www.tomshardware.com for a test) so don't give up.
If you want a good driver there is always the option of getting one from www.turboprint.de but this one is not free/open source (EUR 25 / 32 US$ at time of writing). It is said that this driver and Linux produce better results on at least some settings as the Canon prorietary Windows drivers, but I haven't seen that myself yet)
But that ain't true Linux spirit is it ???? Nahhhh.
So I looked on and found the BJC 8200 and BJC 8500 drivers available in RH and SusE distros and probably others as well.
These seem to produce a decent result with the i865 (and i850).
I got the usb connection working (I've read USB not always an option on non-windows platforms, then resort to parallel)
Not yet clear what features are/are not supported, but testpage looks crisp and clear and several test prints on regular A4 paper are all ok. Have to test photo later.
So no proplems here, just add a printer using the printer config tool and choose the Canon Driver BJC 8200 or 8500 (AFAIK both produce equally good results)

Man that sure was easy. I am jsut getting my feet wet woth Linux and had yet to hook up a printer. I was just about ready to go get my old HP 930C back from my son when I ran across your suggestion to use the BJC 8200 (which was ready to go on Mandrake 9.1). It was jsut one click away in the Mandrake control center and worked perfectly.
thanks much

Prints beautifully from applications like openoffice and firefox.
But... I have had some trouble printing from the GIMP.
Originally, the printer seemed to not be printing any black... so prints looked quite odd.
I installed (or updated, can't remember) gimp-print-cups and now it won't print at all... the indicator light on the printer flashes a couple of times but that's it.
