I have been trying to install a Canon BJC-2100 printer using the cups interface and have been getting the error "Printer not connected will retry in 30 seconds", but nothing happens.  I have checked the cable and it is fine.   The documentation I have read recommends the gimp-print-ijs driver, but i cannot get this to install from the installation program.  Does anyone know how to get this to install from the command line?

yum install gimp-print

setup or system-config-printer

My thinking is that your first problem is connection. Is this USB? Is it
connecting to USB? 

what's output from
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
cat /var/log/dmesg | grep USB

Fry's was selling refurbished HP 7110's for $199

Great printer/fax/scanner/color copier combo

cheap printers / inexpensive cartridges aren't the way ink jet printers
are sold. The cheaper the printer, the less ink in the cartridges and
thus the more per page - pay me now or pay me later philosophy. I think
Gillette perfected the formula in the 60's by giving away the razors.
Bic rained on their parade. Bottom line, cheap ink jet printers are
never cheap.
