I have re-installed my Office 2003 Professional suite but the proble
remains. I can preview in each individual application using tha
application preview option as I can in Paint Shop Pro and all othe
applications. It is only when I select print that the Canon starts t
print immediately without showing the Canon Print Preview screen eve
though this has been selected in Print Preferences.

You may have selected "Show Print Preview" in the printer Properties, but
after you check the block did you click Apply and OK to set and save settings?
If you did and still have the problem, click the Factory Settings button.
If that
doesn't solve the problem, uninstall and reinstall the printer, the file to
show
print preview may be corrupt or did not install.
