Canon ir3300 will not print from a computer.
(OP)
I have a Canon ir3300 set up as a network device. Copying and Faxing works fine from the device, now I want to print to it from a computer.
I downloaded the PCL6 drivers from Canon's site and installed it on a Win7 computer. It searched and found the printer on the network, it installed the printer and all seems ok. I printed several things, no errors, they go in and out of the print queue with no errors, except that no paper comes out of the device.
I opened the web interface at http://192.168.x.x, it opens. I went to the Print queue, nothing there. I went to the Logs, and I can see my print jobs with my Windows user name there, with a status of OK!?!?!
In other words, everything seems to be working and configured correctly, except no printed paper is coming out. What am I missing???

You are downloading from here, correct? https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/...
You have the right 64 or 32 bit driver for your version of Windows, as they are different files? (Side note: cant believe this printer has W98 drivers... that's actually pretty cool)
If you connect locally instead of network, does it print to it after configured? If not I would try the PPD driver after nuking the PCL driver. The PPD driver is more up to date anyway as of last year. If so I would look harder at the network config.

All is working except nothing is printing out...
I know it's a driver's problem. I think I tried them all.
@guitarzan: which version of the PCL5 did you used? Im running WIN 7 x64

It was also a great device for scanning documents in colour using Acrobat.

You'd think after all these years, they would have fixed PCL6. I mean, crap, it's been what, 15 years now?
Just my $.02
