"On Vista I usually do this:

Printers -> Add Printer -> Add Local Printer -> Create New Port (Standard TCP/IP) -> Autodetect, Enter the Printer IP Address, port fills out automatically.

After this, it asks for drivers which you should already have from hooking by USB."

"Procedure which should work on a Windows 7 x64 install, at least it did for me:

Download Driver Addon from Canon, this link works
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0100002264/01/aomwin110ea24us.exe
Install the Driver Addon, and go to Control Panel, Add Printer
Select Local Printer, choose to Create a New Port. Make sure to select ""Canon BJNP Port""
Now the Canon Addon should appear, where you can enter IP, MAC, or just Auto Detect, just make sure it finds your printer
After adding port, change from ""Add new port"" to ""Use Existing Port"", here the new Canon BJNP port should be visible
In the next screen, you need to update the Windows Printer driver list, press ""Windows Update""
The Windows Update might take a while, but eventually you should be able to select Canon, and find your ""Canon Inkjet PIXMA iP4000R"" in this list
Select and install Printer, and you're done!

Note: Sometimes the Port may change, or the IP of the Printer. Then it can be nice to have an opportunity to update the current port. Use ""Canon IJ Network Tool"" for this, available here: http ://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0900003906/02/ip5200r_ip4000rndwin255_ntwin255en.exe

Also, you might want to reconfigure you're printer. Then you may use the http client mentioned above, but there is also a ""PIXMA Wireless Setup Assistant"" available for this, youæll find it here: http ://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0200000651/04/CanonAPChkTool_win210en.exe

Hope this is of some help!"
