I have a (simular) Canon MP610 printer and I can get it to print, only without bidirectional support (Printer can't send info back, like status, ink details, etc).

The printer does not show up on "//SNAKE/Printers" on the network, but you can print to it if you follow the explanation in the SNAKE OS manual.

[QUOTE MANUAL]
For Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Adding a new printer:
1) Click on windows "Start" menu, point to "Printers and Devices";
2) Choose "Add printer";
3) Select "Add network, wireless or bluetooth Printer";
4) Select "Desired printer is not listed";
5) Mark "Add printer using TCP/IP Address or hostname";
6) Choose "TCP/IP Device" and type IP address of the NAS;
7) Uncheck "Check printer and automatically choose the driver to use";
8) At "Device Type", choose "Custom" and click "Config";
9) Choose "Raw" protocol, enter correct port number (default is 9100, which is also the NAS' default port for 1st printer);
10) Click "OK" and Click "Advance";
11) Now choose the printer driver from the list -OR- if you haven't installed the printer drivers yet use the "Have disk" option and your printer installation disk;
12) Choose a printer name and whether to share it or not;
13) Check if the just installed printer will be the default one;
14) Print a test page if you want.
