I've seen this mentioned before as a workaround, but the only time I needed to 
try it I couldn't get it to work.

I wouldn't expect the problem to be in samba.  The gentoo guide may be old, of 
course.

I hope so, too :-)  After you installed the printer driver from canon, did you 
try installing the printer through the cups interface (localhost:631)?  The 
new driver should be among the ones listed if it installed correctly.  Put 
your latest version of the driver on, then try this and let us know what 
happens.
