Canon all-in-one printer/scanner

[Just J]

The printer isn't there to troubleshoot.  Setting it up stops when I get to the error I referenced earlier so I never actually get it connected. 

I've done some searching but I don't understand much of what I read.  However, I gather it's a network problem. 

I've tried to use Samba but don't really know what to put in the blanks in the setup windows.  I don't even know if I'm supposed to use Samba but do want to network all of my computers. 

It's difficult to ask the right questions or explain the problems as I don't know the proper terminology!
