"PC connection" uses the Canon proprietary communication protocol 
(reverse engineered), "Print/PTP" uses the PTP one (should be better 
supported as it is standard).

libgphoto manage the two. You can notice that the product id of the 
camera change when you switch the protocol (from 
http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html) :
Canon EOS 350D
    0x04a9/0x30ef (PTP)
    0x04a9/0x30ee (canon)
CF II 	PTP (usb)
gphoto2/ptp (usb)
gphoto2/canon (usb)
