Aha, that explains wy it will not work. see this:
http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-LBP-460

the printer can print ascii text at all, it is a raster-only win* gdi
printer. It is the driver who does all the work.

Always, always check LinuxPrinting.org before starting with an unknown
printer.
