I use a Canon PIXMA iP3000 on a Windows XP machine on the network.
Previous Vista RCs and Betas had no problem when I setup this as a network
printer. Now, I'm trying to get it to work with Vista RTM but I'm getting
this error: "The Specified Print Monitor is Unknown".

Anyone come across this problem before?
 
I do have this problem, with a Canon S800. I don't have a real solution. I
installed an S800 locally, Vista has it's own drivers for the S800, and then
installed my own port and pointed the port to \\server\printer it prints,
but everytime I send a job to the print server, it says I need to install
the driver, fails with the same error you get, and then prints fine. Worked
fine is RC1 and 2. If Canon does come out with Vista only drivers, I don't
know how I will get them on the server, or how I will tell the server to
share out Vista drivers, i don't think new drivers will help much.
