Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi Robbie, welcome to cable forum.
If your Canon printer has just a USB interface then it will need to be directly connected to a PC.

Other computers on the network can share this printer but only if the connected PC is switched on.

An alternative is to have the printer connected via a print server.
This connects your printer direct to the router and gives it an IP address so you can print from any other PC on the network.

Edit.. must type faster..
