Printing to a windows shared printer

Ok here is the situation. I have a Canon PIXXMA mx330 printer hooked up to my desktop through usb. That machine is running windows xp media center. I can print perfectly from that machine. I have shared the printer on the network. I am trying print to this printer from my new macbook pro 13 inch. So i went into the printer & fax settings on the mac, clicked add new printer, clicked windows, workgroup, family, and then my printer name (CanonMX3). I then found the driver in the list (canon 330 series) and finally clicked add. So it appears to be connected. Whenever i try to print something to this printer from the mac nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Try physically connecting the printer first (via USB) and then later connecting to it over the network. That usually does the trick for me.
