Problems with Canon printer sharing

Hi,

I have a small home network connected as follows:

- My Desktop (Server) wired
- My Laptop (Client) wireless
- One Printer (Canon i865)
- Linksys router WAG354G V.2
- OS on both computers: WXP Pro SP2 fully updated

I have installed on both PCs the latest driver version downloaded from the
Canon website.
This is in order to comply with Canon's recommandations to use their drivers
on both server and client machines. (I tried the MS one first, but had
different problems, i.e., on the client, I had no access to the "Preview
before printing" option, which is very important for me).

I did follow the instructions in the Readme file provided by Canon in case
of network printer sharing, but still I cannot print.

The message I get when I try to print from my laptop (Client) is the
following:

"Cannot communicate with printer.
Turn Enable bidirectional support on in the printer's Properties dialog
box."

It is Enabled on both Client and Server, but the Client does not see it!

What can I do?

Thanks
Alex
