I have a Canon i350 connected to my Windows machine, which is connected to my home network. I also have a PowerBook 15" linked to the same network. I want to be able to print from my powerbook to the printer - without having to unplug and plug the printer into the powerbook.

I was able to do this with ease with my old Epson c62, before that gave up the ghost. However, I can't see how to do it with the Canon - the i350 simply isn't listed as a printer model in the add printer function (the Windows Printing part) in the Printer Setup Utility. So, I can find the printer connected to the PC, but I can't print to it.

Any ideas where I could find the printer drivers for the i350? I've tried the standard drivers that came with the printer for the Mac, but they seem to be different from the ones listed in the add printer bit. I'm guessing it's GIMP that's needed, however installing the Gimp-Print at sourceforge doesn't add my printer...
