Notes
There are official Canon drivers for this printer and a well made guide, but many people can't manage to make it work! (Printer is detected but printing doesn't start). I had the same problem with the latest rpm driver and I used the deb package found on this page http://rdoursenaud.free.fr/debian/capt.html (im using ubuntu). They should be the same thing... (just a differente version) but the oldest driver worked better for me! Another thing to pay attention to is the execution order of cups (first) an ccpd (canon daemon port or something similar, second). i've put them in rc.local, they obviously should work using rc.X too!
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Canon_LBP_2900_HowTo describes how to install this printer on Ubuntu Dapper, it may work on other deb based distros too.
http://software.canon-europe.com/software/canon_capt_printer_driver_for_linuxs23675.asp For Red Hat, Fedora, SuSE and Turbolinux, Canon provides a guide on the same page as the driver above.
With the bjc800 default settings, the output was shrunk (too small). After manually editing the PPD file and setting the resolution to 600x600 the size seems to be correct.
