Network Problem? Need help!!!!!

[sogs]

I just bought a new printer (Canon i960). It is USB. It is hooked up
to an 800Mhz system running Windows ME. I have 2 other systems, 2.5
Mhz systems running XP networked with this computer via a cable router
and hub. I have never had any problems with this setup. I used to
have a HP 855 printer (at least 5 or 6 years old) hooked up to this
configuration and never had any problems. Since hooking up the new
Canon I have had problems. Both XP systems kept saying that the
Wndows ME system didn't have the proper drivers when trying to install
a printer on them even though I did have the latest drivers installed
from Canon. Eventually both systems mysteriously allowed the printer
to be seen on the network and I could print a paper from Wordpad. I
could not print from Word. A page from the internet printed but very,
very slow to load. Any suggestions on what might be wrong or where I
can look for help? I'vr tried the Microsoft Knowledge base but didn't
see anything there. Canon doesn't support network printing. I don't
know if it's a network, printer, XP, USB or ME problem. Any
ideas?????

I think you answered your own question and to repeat your words

'Canon doesn't support network printing'

I don't think it has anything to do with Canon. They just won't try
to figure out a network problem. I think it has more to do with USB.

It's both the USB and Windows ME. ME sucks. Make sure
you have the proper drivers on the XP box. they should
be diffrent from the ME.
