Option 1: Connect Canon Printer via USB​

This is the simplest and quickest method, especially for older printer models that may not support wireless connectivity.

️ Steps:​

  1. Turn ON your printer: Ensure your Canon printer is powered on and functioning properly.
  2. Plug in the USB cable: Connect one end of the USB cable to your printer and the other end to your computer.
  3. Wait for automatic recognition:
    • On Windows, the system will try to detect and install drivers automatically.
    • On macOS, it may prompt you to download Canon drivers from Apple Software Update.
  4. Install Canon Drivers (if required):
    • Go to the official Canon support site.
    • Download the driver software for your specific printer model.
  5. Test the printer:
    • Go to “Devices and Printers” in Control Panel (Windows) or “Printers & Scanners” in System Preferences (Mac).
    • Print a test page to ensure the printer is working.

Option 2: Connect Canon Printer via Wi-Fi​

If you want a wireless setup that allows printing from anywhere within your Wi-Fi network, this is the way to go.

Wireless Setup Steps:​

  1. Ensure Wi-Fi is working on both your printer and your computer.
  2. Access Printer Settings:
    • On the printer, press the Setup/Wrench icon.
    • Navigate to “Wireless LAN Setup” or “Network Settings”.
  3. Select Your Network (SSID):
    • Your printer will search for nearby Wi-Fi networks.
    • Choose your home Wi-Fi and enter the password carefully.
  4. Confirm the connection:
    • A successful connection message should appear.
    • You can also print a Network Configuration Page to verify.
  5. Install Software on Computer:
    • Download and install Canon’s installation software like “IJ Network Tool”.
    • During setup, choose "Connect via wireless network".
Tip: Use Canon’s mobile apps like Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY for easier management.

If you encounter setup errors or can't find your Wi-Fi, don’t worry. Call +1‑888‑272‑6750 for expert assistance.
