Re: vista x64 - XPhome x86 Canon printer problem

There are still Network issues in RC1 that are solved in the RTM.

Some have had success with the following:
Get the XP 32 bit driver for the printer from Canon's web site. Install
that on the XP machine. Select File as the port. When that is complete,
restart the machine and navigate the the printer driver's port settings.
Check to see if the network port is now present. If so, select it and OK
out. If not, try running the wizard to add a network printer again.

Let us know.
