The user found his own solution. Great work! Many people give up when they have their Macs in a business environment.
Hmm – found a solution.
Deleted all references to the printer and the Windows Print Server in the Keychain – and i works?
Looks like there is a problem overwriting some stored keys???

iOS: AirPrint 101. So is there a third-party way to get printers that are not AirPrint ready compatible with it? I really want to stick with Canon printers. All the printers on this list are HP. I wonder if they had an exclusive with them?
Canon Pixma MG8120 Printer Review | PCWorld. I have had great experience with Canon printers. Much better than other printers I have used both in cross-platform compatibility, ink cost and reliability. I had a friend who was thinking of getting a Mac All In One or MFC so this is going to be my suggestion. Prices have gone under $200 so this is a steal. It even has wireless!

Hi,
just have a look into your CUPS error log. In my case it said:
Unable to execute /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP/LexmarkX500Filter.app/Contents/MacOS/L exmarkX500Filter: insecure file permissions (0100755)
Setting the the driver directory and its contents to root:admin (user:group) did the trick for me:
chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP
You need root privileges to do that.

I shared my experience in this comment:
Unfortunately all brands have problems. The most problematic for me have been Epsons, Lexmark and Brother. The best have been Canon. I have loved the canon printers i have had. HP laser jet printers tend to be good. If you have an HP you might need drivers that HP doesn’t provide. You might find this useful.

Okay, have done some testing and found some interesting things.
With a new install of 10.6.5 (selecting not to add any printers) I was not able to locate any Canon AIO via wireless. The Default Add Printer pane was empty so it looks like the printer and scanner driver needs to be present on the Mac. For the printer this is understood, as the Canon protocol ‘canonijnetwork’ is not present in the BJPrinters folder located in Library > Printers > Canon (due to the customized installation the Canon folder was not even present). In checking the Image Capture folder (HD > Library) I also found that the Devices folder was missing. Inside of here you would normally find the Canon IJScanner package/s for a standard installation of 10.6. But with the customized install this package was not present and appears to influence the Mac’s ability to ‘see’ the networked scanner component. To confirm this, I installed the Canon v2.4.1 driver update, which in turn created the Devices folder in Image Capture and consequently made the scanner component appear in the Default Add Printer view.
Another observation was that prior to installing the Canon v2.4.1 update, Image Capture would still display the MP on the network, but under the Shared menu – not the Devices menu. So even without the ICA driver installed nor the MP scanner driver installed, I was still able to use Image Capture to scan a document from the wireless MP. The same was true for Preview in as far as the Networked Scanner selection showed all the MP’s present on the wireless network.
At this stage I believe that the Canon driver update you mentioned may have contributed to part, if not all, of your current symptom. The install.log does have a record of what this update installs. If you checked it there may be record of the installer not completing correctly. In any case I assume that for your Mac this update did not complete correctly and is causing the problem. So one suggestion would be to run the Canon Driver v2.4.1 update again (or for the first time if you simply used Software Update previously) to see if this repairs the CanonIJScanner packages.
