Canon Pixma Pro-100 advice

A dear sweet family member gifted me a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer this holiday.  I don't really need this big hoss of a printer, but it was a gift and I'm trying to make it work in our all-Linux household.

Canon has no drivers, and from what I've gleaned, it isn't supported by the latest gutenprint drivers release.  This thing isn't your garden-variety inkjet, it's a fancy-pants photoprinter with 8 different inks and 11x17 support, etc. 

If I want to shell out 30 euros, I can get TurboPrint, which will support it, but I'd rather not have to spend money to get a gift printer to work, especially when I really don't need any advanced functionality from it. 

On the off chance, does anyone own this printer?  Do you have it working in Linux?  Any advice on how I can utilize this thing without spending money on proprietary software or using the Legacy OS?

If I can just print photos decently that'd be fine for me.

EDIT: tried postscript drivers, they didn't work.  It doesn't even respond to a print job.
