Well... I went back to Leopard today. Everything was working great untill I try to do the Illustrator update... it didn't want to run. Another problem was Quickbooks... didn't want to register my license.
To bad because I was enjoying snow a lot... it was running super fast. I think I'll wait to see what happens in the near future.

Do a search for "Canon Printer" - among others there is a post with "macosxhints.com has a post that describes how to install a Canon printer driver under Snow Leopard:"

Also, a friend had trouble getting a Canon multi-function printer working, and a reinstall of the printer driver posted on the Canon home page solved the problem without the involved process in the post above. As SL does need to have the printer on when it is installed to recognize the printer, reinstalling the Canon printers, dwnl from Apple, may work. Good luck, it can be done!
I upgraded from 10.5.8 on my 2 month-old 13 inch MBP and I think I have not had any problems. I say "I think" because I can't really tell I've installed a new OS X. It's just the same as before. I see no improvements in speed. It's like I haven't really installed an "improved" OS X.
I understand there are "under the hood improvements, blah blah blah" but if you replaced all the innards of a BMW with Bugatti innards, including engine, but afterwards your "BMW" still runs like a BMW, was it really worth it?

If it cost $30 and added a "minimize to dock" function and fixed Spaces with Office, then yes.
One week old stock Macbook Pro 13", and I no problems after using the upgrade path rather than clean install. After using Tiger on a 2007 Macbook Pro, Leopard on the 13" seemed faster already so the speed boost wasn't apparent to me aside from converting video in MPEG Streamclip. I was concerned about MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake and Plex, but they work fine. I also noticed I had 7GB more of free hard drive space.
