Does anyone have any suggestions as to how best to print these covers? I've printed a different cover using glossy photo paper, that had good image quality but was quite sticky and stays slightly sticky even after being allowed to dry. The paper is a bit tacky even before use. This is a problem when you try to slip the cover into a case, it's like trying to slide cling wrap across cling wrap.

It sounds like you are using the wrong print mode for that paper. Each type of media (both base - paper or film, and coating - glossy, matte, etc) has a different ink limit. By ink limit I mean that there is a certain amount of moisture that the paper can handle - anything over that and the ink never seems to dry. That is one of the reasons why there are different media types that you can select in printer drivers. If you still have the glossy photo paper box, it should say what media type to choose on it. Of course this works best when the media is from the same manufacturer as the printer...
Let me know if you have more printing questions - I won't have anything specific to Canon as I work for HP. But I do have general knowledge of the inkjet world. As a side note, some HP printers (and possibly some other manufacturers printers?) have a feature we call media sense, that optically detects what media is in the printer and adjusts the media type for you...
Hope this helps
