Hi, I own a BJC-600 (360dpi) and I think it works just fine.
I've bought Wolf Faust's Canon Studio (includes Prefs & Printer
driver) and I highly recommend it. You will then be able to
adjust lots of stuff concerning your printer.
 
I've had a problem getting  dark pictures when i tried printing
pictures with lots of colours, but I'm sure that that's just because I
haven't got the colour-adjustments set properly in Canon Prefs (Yet).

With C-Prefs you can define what type of dither you want on your
printed graphics.(and other stuff too..)

I use Wordworth5, PageSetter3, DPaintIV they work fine with my
printer.

I have been using the BJC-600e for some time.  Get the
driver from the Canon Europe ftp site.  I have tried other
PD drivers and have found problems when really stressing
it. (i.e. using POST with beaucoup colors and largest possible
printing area).

Cannon (in Europe) supplies Amiga drivers for their BJC series. Wolf 
Faust has a program called Studio II which is a full fleged set of 
drivers, adjustments, and utilities for 24-bit printing on the Amiga. 
There are also some acceptable public domain drivers on Aminet for the 
Cannon series.

I think if you want to use a canon color printer you should use the
Canon
studio software from Wolf Faust (drivers are for free on the Canon ftp
site,
the Canon studio program used for printing 24 bit images cost around 20
UKP).

Canon printers are well supported in Amiga s/w...
They provide free Amiga drivers..

..Also StudioII professional gives you slightly better colour matching...

I had a BJ10, then a BJ600....

(The bj600 print head costs 150quid...so I bought an epson stylus...)

I just had a go with the German "TurboPrint" program
(which includes its own drivers for the BJC-series).

I could not believe the speed of the printout and
the astounding quality. I didn't think it possible...

So go-get the TurboPrint!

I just bought the Canon BJC 610 printer and was no less
impressed by the speed and quality - now 720x720 dpi.

The interface is very good too.

PS I used the Canon Studio driver earlier - There is
   no comparison.

I have had very good results with the BJC-600e through PageStream2.2.  Dark 
images are solved by increasing the contrast and gamma before printing.
