Happy to report that this hack worked a treat. For detailed 
instructions on how to apply the changes go to:

http://www.angelfire.com/mac/bjc3000/

In brief, the procedure is as follows (NB the instructions recommend 
logging in as root before proceeding):

1) Delete the /Library/Printers/Canon directory on your OSX drive
2) Reboot your mac
3) Install the S400 printer driver (available from canon.com.au site)
4) Download the PMS.tgz and BJPrinterUtility from 
http://v.denislaroque.free.fr/Canon/

For parsimony, the next steps involve subdirectories in the folder 
/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters

5) Replace the S400PM.plugin in subdirectory /PM with the one in the 
PM.tgz bundle
6) Replace the BJPrinterUtility.framework in folder 
/Frameworks/BJPrinterUtility.framework/Versions/A with the downloaded 
version.
7) In folder /Resources/icons, duplicate the s400.icns and rename it 
BJC3000.icns
8) Reboot.
9) Open Print Center and add your BJC3000 printer.

Hopefully you will now be able to print direct to your BJC3000 printer. 
I'm presently looking at some hacks which allow other brand USB printers 
to be shared across a network. If I work out to to share this model I 
will be sure and post it.

HTH, Matt.
