    What model printer?  Have you checked the Canon website?

    Hello!

    In addition to what Aegis said, may we know what version of Ubuntu do you have.

        Does the printer have a model name?  Like Pixma, or something like that?

        Is it multifunction, like a printer/fax/scanner, or is it just a printer?

        Inkjet or laser jet?

        OK, I found it -- I think! -- what I found is an office grade multifunction printer/copier.  Let's see what else I can find.

        I found an English-language Linux driver HERE.  In the selection boxes, choose Linux for the Operating System, English for the language, and click the Submit button.

        Now, I know you probably have more questions, but it's not my area of expertise.  Let me see if we can find out how to install this driver to Ubuntu Linux.
