Could someone explain what "canvas paper" is?  Canvas and paper are 
two different, totally unrelated things that have nothing to do with 
each other.   The expression "canvas paper" is somewhat like "banana 
uranium" (which, come to think of it, would be a great name for a 
band).

Amyway, in answer to your question, I print on ACTUAL gesso'ed canvas 
using my Epson 2200.   Regular artist's canvas, plain old off-the-
shelf Liquitex acrylic gesso.   Works great, no problems.
