[link=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293360]A list of printer drivers that are included in Windows XP[/link]
and it includes your printer as well, which means that you dont need to install the drivers for your printer through a software package..... Just use add new hardware wizard and select that printer throught it!
 
I get the driver off the canon web page and this is wat i get
