Google shows up this (I searched for Canon MP560 linux):-

Which suggests some extra drivers might be helpful.

Are you networking the printer via wireless (I see it has wireless) ?

Try it instead on the wired network ?

Browse to the printer and see if it has more information about the print queue ?

I do not use samba - maybe someone else can help you there.
