I have to wonder if your problems began after you installed WinXP SP2.
If so, this might be a new case of driver incompatibility with SP2
that needs to be reported to MS.

One possible work around....
Switch the printer to being local to the FC2 box instead XP?

If the option is not feasible....
On the Canon site, I see that the only driver available for that model
is listed as compatible only with DOS based OSes. Maybe changing the
Print Processor from WinPrint to WfxPrint, with the default data type
setting of RAW, might make a difference.
