If it does print from the laptop, one must assume it is HP
compatible, though Canons aren't usually. So just possibly the
difference is in the Windows drivers on the two systems. Print a
test page from each (in Windows: Start->Settings-Printers and
Faxes; right click the printer, Properties, Print test page). The
test page should list all the files involved in Windows printing.
Compare them (write on each which it came from) to see if there
are any discrepancies.
The other thing is that I should think having the SAME printer as
both a network printer and a local printer would give
Windows--and XY--fits. I suggest you have two completely separate
entries in your PP table, one for it as a local printer, one as a
shared network one.
