Printing from the Mac via the PC

[Sirrel Squirrel]

Connected to my PC I have a Canon i865 printer, I've got the network all setup on my mac so it can access files off the pc and vice versa, the Mac can also see the printer but the Mac needs to know the make and model of the printer as it isn't listed in the printer preferences, I can select a random Canon printer from the list and it will print but for some reason black comes out grey, what setting should I use?

Hope that makes sense!

Yeah thats how I set it up in the first place, if I leave it as a generic printer it won't print and if I pick a random Canon printer from the list it'll print grey, tried installing the canon drivers too but it didn't do anything.
