Mac OS X does not support poster printing all by itself. There are several third-party applications that allow you to do this, however...

That is a bogus response - Canon provides their own driver UI which is shown in the print dialog. If they don't expose this driver feature in their UI, it is their own fault and not a limitation of CUPS or Mac OS X...
