Why isn't my canon mp-600 recognized? I see gutenprint package is installed. Aren't Canon drivers included?

Good question. Hmm, there is no entry found at http://linuxprinting.org, so I guess you are unlucky with cups :( :roll:
Try to buy some printer with postscript support or at least ps emulation. ;)

EDIT:
Have you tried? http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp610linux/files/
A collection of enhanced PPD files for Canon Pixma MP600 and MP610 all-in-one printers, and a Sane scanner driver for Canon Pixma MP140, MP210, MP520, MP610, MP710, MX700 for up to 4800 dpi resolution, that can be used with Sane 1.0.18 or 1.0.19.

Are we talking about 13.0 or 13.1(alpha,beta) here?

I have a mp610 usb printer which was perfectly recognized in 13.0 & not at all in 13.1.

Here is the reason why + the fix: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP ... CUPS_1.4.x
