I have a new Canon MX860 printer that I am just installing. I located the latest drivers and want to run it as a wireless network printer/scanner. I cannot find the drivers that Canon recommends on their site

I bought this printer two years ago but just now opened and upacked it. I found the Canon drivers listed for Lion and the MX860 but was unable to find the one driver MX860 series MP Driver for Network..... that they recommend that allows the printer to find the LAN device. I could use some help getting this printer and scanner set up with the right drivers.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

The MP Driver for Network is the Windows driver. For 10.7, you only need the CUPS v10.51.2 driver for network printing and the Scanner Driver v14.4 for network scanning.

Is it wireless or wired LAN you will be using the printer with? And do you already have it connected to this network?
