Having Trouble Connecting Wirelessly

I've run the installation disc.  Set the printer up and connected to my wireless, but the installation stalls at the point where it's checking the printer status and says it can't detect the printer!  This is a Canon MX420!!!  What's wrong? Why can't my HP PC detect the printer?
