That's a good sign the icons are showing up, means the group name is correct. You are still seeing the XP firewall or your anti-virus software blocking things though with that message showing up. Try disabling ZA and Norton.
I did this, didn't make any difference, still can't print from the darn thing.

Well, I dunno how it can be if they're both disabled.

Is no install option, maybe 'cuz it already is installed?
Reboot after every network adjustment, and remember it takes time for the network to initialize when you first open the Network Places window, and again when you click on an folder icon for the first time.
Well, after all of that I finally called Canon for help because when I got to the last step of their instructions it said to select CONNECT from the FILE menu ... is no connect. I find out that if I get this to work, it will only function as a printer (it's a multi-function print/scan/fax machine) so it won't do me any good at all to even have the darn thing working. It's going back to the store and I'm going to find something wireless so I don't have to mess w/all of this.
