You can have a look at the install.log via the Console application. Maybe the Network Tool has the same issue? And if you definitely don't have the Canon folder in HD > Library > Printers then this could be the cause. This was becasue the installer would not create the necessary folders if they were not present.

There was an issue with the Canon driver installer (v10.36), where if certain folders were missing within HD > Library > Printers the driver package contents would not install. When it does click Add to complete the network print queue creation and repeat the steps to add the network scanner if you need it. Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically select the Canon MX860 series printer driver.

Several seconds after the scanner appears the printer should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Click the + and wait for the MX860 to appear as a printer - it will appear first as a scanner and you can either add that now or after adding the printer. So with all the old queues to the MX860 removed you can then add the new network printer. You may also need to delete the networked scanner queue if you had one. And for the old networked print queue, you need to delete this also. For the USB print queue you just created, you can delete this. Now turn the printer back on and open Print & Fax again. Save the changes, turn off the power to the MX860 and then disconnect the USB cable.

Select this and you can then enter the new network settings, such as the SSID, type of security being used and the password for the network. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and within this utility you will see the Network Settings button. With this selected then click Open Printer Utility. If you then open Print & Fax, select this USB MX860 print queue and then press Options & Supplies, you will see the Utility tab. If it doesn't have the ability to change the settings via the keypad then you will have to connect the printer via USB to your Mac, which will create a USB connected print queue. If it does then you can change the network settings and create a new print queue on the Mac. I am not sure if your MX860 has this setting, called Easy Setup under Device Settings > Network. Some of the new models of Canon inkjet let you set the network settings using the touch panel on the printer.
