Here are the first 40 lines of that file:

Running my local cupstestppd command seems to validate okay, with the following 
output:

davidski at geoff:~$ cupstestppd /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/Canon_BJC.ppd

Interestingly, the testppd web link you sent reports that this PPD fails with 
the message:

Canon_BJC.ppd: FAIL
      **FAIL**  BAD ModelName - "," not allowed in string.
                REF: Pages 59-60, section 5.3.

I'll regenerate the foomatic PPD from linuxprinting.org tonight and verify 
that my PPD is current.  If so, I'll test with and without the "," in my 
PPD file and see if that corrects the problem.

As always, thanks for all your time and effort.
