Printing from a mac to a shared vista printer

I have been trying to print over a wireless network from my mac to a printer connected (and shared) to my vista pc. Everything is shared properly and permissions set (I can access shared files etc on the pc from the mac) but cannot get the printer to work. So thought I'd use bonjour for windows to set up the vista printer. Trouble is when I run the bonjour printer wizard on the vista pc it says no bonjour printers are installed. The printer def is a bonjour printer Canon ip3600. How do I get vista to see that a bonjour printer is attached (via usb) to it please?

Thanks

Have you run the network stuff here (See picture) on the vista PC & what firewalls have you got installed?
