Is there a benefit for Mac OSX users to use "Bonjour Multifunction" versus "Canon IJ Network"? What's the difference?

The Bonjoir software is a local networking protocol. So it is for networked printering.

The USB drivers are for USB connection and they usually come with extra software for the other parts of the printer from the manufacture.
