Canon all-in-one printer/scanner

You certainly can get ideas from another distro, even one not of the Ubuntu family. All Linus OS's are based on the linux kernal, so there is some similarity across the board. But in general, probably safer to stay close to home, so to speak.

Here is kind of an unorthodox approach to your problem: Install a different Linux OS, preferably on the same computer, or even just run the live version, and if the printer works, make a note of all the settings. Then try transferring them to Linux Lite.
