I have the iP3000 & seem to recall seeing the beachball at 99%. I'm 
pretty sure that it didn't cause any problem, whether I force-quite the 
installer or rebooted the machine.

Is it possible Canon's tech support don't know Macs? If you go into 
Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility & choose USB from the 
drop-down is the iP3000 not shown there? If so, click on it.

My apologies if you've already tried this.
