What's wrong with Canon specifically? The rest I am already aware of their sketchy dealings.
Usually Canons camera selection is quite good, was there a scandal or is it just shit support for their printers or help in general?
Canon printers. Back in the time, I bought a large canon printer - for 60cm wide paper, with large ink tanks on the side. It cost a rather substantial amount, but printing under Linux was meh, as there was no special driver for this model. I asked for a manual so I could write such a driver myself, but their position (back then, I never bothered to recheck) that Linux and open source in general was theft of intellectual property.
