Problems with Canon MX472 printer - "Print Preview Error"

[js12577]

Every time I try to print from Mozilla, I get the "Print Preview Error - an error occurred while printing" message.  The only way I can print is after saving the doc as a pdf from a Chrome browser and then restarting the computer (will not print from chrome either unless pc is restarted).  I thought it was a problem with Mozilla but the fact that I can't print from Chrome either, tells me otherwise.  I've unplugged and plugged the printer back in, I've uninstalled & reinstalled it.  WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?  It would be nice to print something in the normal 20 seconds not 20 minutes

Thank you, it also happens with other programs ( I just tried to print from Word to no avail).  Windows Vista - printer is connected via USB
