printer installation

Hi, newbie here, so please be understanding....
I've installed zorinos on my old HP laptop, dual booting with vista, and love it's simplicity and fast boot up...
I have a Canon MP490 on my home network, attached to a W7 pc.
I've found the linux drivers, and installed them on the laptop, but Terminal cannot detect the target printer; when I go into the network window of the w7 PC, my laptop is not there, so presumably there is no recognition between the two...my pc is found on the zorinos network, and all the shared folders on the W7 pc are available to the laptop, but not the other way round.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help, and please, could you make the answers simple!!?
