I got given a Canon iP5200R printer for Christmas.

I followed the guide step by step, to set it all up, and am pretty sure I did it succesfully. I have the iBook wireless, and the printer wireless.. I aligned the print heads from my wireless iBook, and it worked flawlessly.

However, when I tried to print something from an application (I tried iPhoto, Word and Pages), the printer gives me an "error 300", and says I should check all connections are good. I can still communicate with the printer, and perform utilties though! - print a test page, clean the print heads, all this happens perfectly, wirelessly.

When I hook the printer up to my iBook via USB, it prints flawlessly.. very nicely. It clearly can communicate when its wireless, it's just not printing documents. In system prefs for the printer, it says it is connected via usb.. even when its not. Hmmm.

I really want to get this sorted out asap.. any help would be great.

Thanks a lot
