connecting to a network printer

set up is PC with vista, through modem to switch to printer, I have set up
the driver (canon ip4000) but cannot print, any suggestions

Through a modem???? Do you mean you remote into it?

the modem is acting as my router, the PC goes into the modem, the switch is
wired into the modem and the switch picks up the everthing in the house i.e
the printer

Something (usually a router) has to assign a TCP/IP address to the printer.
I have no idea whether your modem can do such a thing. If it can, you
simply install the ip4000 as a network printer.

If it's got no TCP/IP address, then you're very stuck. I cannot magically
make a modem perform DHCP if it's not in its firmware.

Possibly he means a modem/router/switch/WAP similar to the Netgear DG834GV
