Printer (Cannon iP5000) error message Printer is Offline (?) when I try using it plugged into Time Capsule

My Cannon Printer (iP5000) gives me an Error Message - Printer is Off;ine when I plug it into my Time Capsule. It workf fine (no error message when plugged directly into the Mac. Can anyone tell me how to resolve. I have downloaded a NEW Driver from Cannon for the Printer and gone through the startup (which appears to reconize the printer) with Time Capsule several times this week (Time Capsule is NEW - 1 week old).

iMac, Macbook & iPod Nano

When you change the location of the printer, OSX treats it as a seperate printer. So you have to add it in your System Preferences.

When you print, make sure the LOCATION shows up as the base station, or you'll be printing to the old location
