New Canon printers, eh

Does anyone, anyone at all, know if the printer drivers for the new printers are CUPS-compliant? If they are, then users will be able to do silly things like, oh, share the damn printer over a network. Past Canon printers did not have CUPS-compliant drivers, same as most Epson and HP printers. I'm getting really, really, REALLY tired of printers which can be shared by Windows machines but not by Macs. Brother's printers seem to have CUPS-compliant drivers. I'll be buying from Brother until the other vendors wake up, and I'd advise others to do the same.
