I am using my home pc which is not a Mac, my printer is a Canon. I was told that I had to set up some kind of ICLOUD account. Help

You don't need to set up an iCloud account to print to a wireless printer from an iPhone.

Some questions:
What has your home PC got to do with what you want to do?
Is your wireless printer capable of AirPrint?

If you don't know what AirPrint is:

If your wireless printer does not support AirPrint you should be able to physically connect it using a USB cable (assuming it provides this option?) to your home PC. Once set up on your home PC you can download and install Windows Airprint:

Alternatively you could forego the above and try the suggestions given here:
