cannot print with new printer

I can print with HP printer but just added Canon D340. Publisher will not recognize the new printer as the default even though I have changed the default in control panel. I downloaded a new printer driver. When I try to print from Publisher I get some pretty wierd stuff on the page along with the real document. When I try to change printer 'properties' I get the following message: "Function address 0x77c43ec0 caused a protection fault. (exception code 0xc0000005) The application property sheet page(s) may not function properly." And then the document causes an error on the printer.

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Tom G
!"...

Publisher won't change existing documents to default to the new printer, as
Publisher stores printer information in the file that tells it what printer
and printer settings to use.

Have you updated your drivers from www.canon.com?

Also try reducing the printer name to 8 characters or less if not already.
