There is nothing wrong here. A PPD is not readable by a user process, only by one with root privileges. Whatever you ran did not have root privileges.
You are using the gutenprint PPD for MX860; no problem there.
Now do
lpadmin -p mx860 -v socket://<IP_address_of_printer:9100> -E -P /etc/cups/ppd/MX860.ppd
and print with
lp -d mx860 /etc/nsswitch.conf
I am guessing that the Canon printer accepts jobs on port 9100 - most printers do.
You could also set up lpadmin with -v cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-74-5A-78 and see how you go on.
