MP m780 on Xp Machine - print from networked W7 Machine
I had this same issue. I resoved it by connecting the MP780 to the windows 7 machine, installing the drivers, and then bringing the mp780 back to the xp machine.
Everything worked fine.

Thanks, I have tried that but it just goes off to Windows Update again to find the driver. I'll try it with another W7 computer on Monday.

I have the same problem. I was able to use the printer and scanner when it is connected directly to my Windows 7 64-bit machine. However, when the printer is connected to my Windows Home Server and I connect to the remote printer, it fails using the Windows Update scan.
This doesn't happen on a Windows 7 32-bit machine.

Here's a workaround:
1. Open the Devices and Printers folder.
2. Click on "Add a Printer".
3. Click "Add a local printer".
4. Select "Create a new port". The type of port should be "Local Port". Click Next.
5. Enter the remote print share name, e.g. "\\server\printer" and press Enter.
6. Select the Canon Inkjet MP780 Series driver.
7. Go through and finish adding the printer.

Some printers especially Canon ones require the printer itself to be connected and found by the system during driver and untility installation process. Means, during the driver install, it will try to locate the printer, if the printer is not located, you will get a notice, but the install will still complete, but you won't be able to print afterwards. The sequence of installing driver and detecting printer is all important.

On the "sharing" computer, in the sharing tab, there should be a button you can click to supply additional drivers for computers that attempt to connect to the shared printer.
