Howdy y'all!

I am trying to use Airport Express to print with my Canon Pixma MP530. Oddly enough, I can do this successfully with my PC (Win 7). No trouble at all there.

But when I try to install the Canon on my MacBook, I cannot locate it in the Print&Fax option. That is, I can find the driver when I select from the list in the Add Printer window. But when I click "Add," I get this little pop-up window that says "Determining Installable Options," which only lasts for 0.5 seconds before disappearing. Then nothing. I go back to the printer list, and it has not added any printer.

Are there alternatives for adding printers manually rather than detecting them? What's going on here?

I'm using Leopard 10.5.8 on a MacBook (white).
