MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.10 and all the updates;
a desktop with Windows XP on it;
Canon MP810 as a printer.
I have got a Windows printer and I've had the "error: 256" when I try to access the printer or simply add it to the printers' list since a short time.
Probably I have had this since a security update.

There you can read another discussion about this issue: no one could figure out how to fix this.
I have already tried using the advanced button clicking with option+spacebar on "more" and then manually setting the "smb://" URL.
I tried printing from another laptop where I have Windows and it perfectly worked.
I don't wanna spend cash for buying the wireless kit to print without the printer to be connected to a switched on computer.
Do you have any suggestion to fix the problem? I haven't called Apple yet, because very likely they won't be able to help me out with this problem. I called them in the past for easier issues and they couldn't help me. ^^
These are some tries that I did to debug the problem:

The IP of my macbook pro on the network is 192.168.1.3.
I really don't know what 208.69.32.130 is.
