Thank you for the reply Till Kamppeter. However, after a couple of reboots of the desktop and pulling the power cord on the printer, I don't have the hanging problem any more. I did a linux kernel update (to 3.2.0-29-generic) inbetween the reboots but I don't think that could have fixed it. Though it works now, I removed the printer and re-added it to my Printers list and it still works fine.
I have not set usb-unidir-default=true; I checked this under Properties->Job Options->Other Options (Advanced). I did issue a couple of cancel -a. lsusb says "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 04a9:1715 Canon, Inc.
