There's apparently some (Japanese?) CUPS software involved here... 

ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/

Remember, with CUPS you not only need the PPD, but you need the right
"Back End" driver that converts from Postscript to the raster format
of the printer.

So apparently somebody at Canon is developing "linux-friendly" drivers.
