Query on CUPS and printer drivers/filters, do you have a system user in your passwd file of lp?
On my Ubuntu system they are all owned by root:
That is what I see on my Debian 7.8
Sigh, I answered your second question (which I trimmed) and missed the first one that I left there. I blame this cold (to paraphrase Monty Python).
To answer the question I missed..
root@quad:~# getent passwd lp lp:x:7:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/usr/sbin/nologin
root@quad:~# getent group lp lp:x:7:
root@quad:~# getent group lpadmin lpadmin:x:117:chris
This matches, mostly. I added myself to both lp and lpadmin as I had not read of the instruction to add to the lpadmin group. Still poking around looking for various files here and there, but I think some of the Canon bits may refer to files in places they were in prior incarnations. I am trying to chase round, but going in circles.
All the best, Chris
