My Preview on Lion was crashing on Print. The stack in the crash log shows:
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

I tried upgrading to the most recent drivers from Canon's MX850 page. No luck.
I opened "Get Info" from the Finder, with Preview selected, and saw I had set it to "Open in 32-bit mode". I unchecked that box. Now Preview prints again.
While this is not a direct answer to your question, you can create settings presets for that -- which can be selected in every GUI app using the standard print dialog as easily as a different printer:
