Networking Canon MP780

Folks

I'm trying to get network printing of this printer going for a friend of mine. I was
unable to get it going but then I'm not a printer driver expert. I tried the usual
sharing and such but just didn't work.

Doing some searchs through this newsgroup has some contradictory postings. Some
postnigs stated this printer can't be networked. Others said networking was easy.
However no posting that I could find mentioned any tricks to getting shared printing
working.

Any suggestions or useful URLs?

The Canon manuals do not mention networking other than in the context of the PSTN
(public switched telephone networking.)

And searching at groups google gives the following error message:
comp.periphs.printers
The archive for this group is currently unavailable.
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again shortly.
<sigh>

I'm tempted to tell them to purchase a MFP with networking built in rather than
trying to p*** around.
