Is this a USB or a network printer? Plus are you using the latest drivers?
Did your printer work with earlier version of Snow Leopard? If it did, then your current driver should still work. Drivers don't go bad. You may have buggered your network connection to the driver. Use your Printers & Fax preferences pane to redo your printer setup. If you think that only the latest print driver, then Canon does have a website.
Maybe printer drivers don't go bad, they become obsolete. So far, with every upgrade in Mac OS, I had to replace the printer driver with the latest version. This time, I haven't been able to find the driver for OS 10.6.8.
Does anyone know the Canon website with drivers to download that is not in Japanese?

Nonsense. It would be expected that a driver that worked with MacOS X 10.5 would not work with MacOS X 10.6. However, a driver that worked with MacOS X 10.6.7 or MacOS X 10.6.6 is almost certain to work just fine with MacOS X 10.6.8. This does not mean that Canon did not update its MacOS X 10.6 driver. However, this would not render the older version inoperable. In the case of your printer, a single driver download supports your printer from MacOS X 10.4 to MacOS X 10.6.
You are a non-Japanese living and working in Japan. However, you do not specify your native language. Not Japanese does not narrow things down much. Canon has websites that cater to its customers all over the world. It does not sell your printer in my native USA, but it does sell your printer outside Asia. Why don't you search one of Canon websites for customers who speak your language?
For example, Canon's UK website features driver downloads that support English, French German, Italian, and Spanish. Other downloads on this website support other languages. And, of course, there are many other Canon websites.
Simply not true. This site is open to everyone who has an Internet connection. Many people whose native language is not English post here. Whatever their native language, most post in English.
But, I digress....
Oh, for Heaven's sake! MacOS X 10.6.8--not MacOS 10.6.8 because there is no MacOS 10.6.8--was a minor update to MacOS X 10.6.7. The driver that is compatible with MacOS X 10.6.7 should work just fine with MacOS X 10.6.8 and any version of MacOS X 10.6 that follows.
