Devicewise, USB printers generally show up under /dev/usb/lpX. I have an Epson 
Stylus C40ux, and it works fine with Gimp-Print. 

You can check www.linuxprinting.org for details of your printer. Try this 
link:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-S100

Apparently it is the successor to the BJC2100, and works with BJC2100 and 
BJC4300 drivers. Gimp print comes by default with Mandrake.
