Quoting Lewin Edwards to Randall Lane re "network printing"

The level of elitisim contained in your reply is quite extraordinary.  The 
simple facts are that you are both only partly right.  GDI printers generally 
are not able to be networked as their drivers are not installable through 
control panel and the driver is only accessible through the software program 
devised for the particular printer.  It so happens that Canon have gone to 
the trouble of including an installation routine for both standalone and 
networked setups.  I found this out by following up through a dealer and 
reading the manual.
Unfortunately my printer doesn't have such an install program but for the 
price ($399)it is great as it produces flawless print quality and around 
pm.
Thanks for your interest, I think we have all learned something.
