1. Prepare Your Canon Printer ️​

Before setting up your Canon printer wirelessly, ensure that your printer is in a good working condition.

2. Connecting Canon Printer Using Wireless Setup

There are two ways to connect your Canon printer wirelessly: Wi-Fi setup via the printer's menu and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

✅ 2.1 Wi-Fi Setup via Printer Menu

Step 1: On your Canon printer, press the Home button on the control panel.

Step 2: Navigate to Settings > Device Settings > LAN Settings.

Step 3: Select Wireless LAN Setup.

Step 4: The printer will now search for available networks. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.

Step 5: Enter your Wi-Fi password carefully. This password is case-sensitive.

Step 6: Once entered, press OK. The printer will attempt to connect to the network. If it’s successful, the printer’s Wi-Fi light will stop blinking and remain solid.

If this process doesn’t work, you can also use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) as an alternative method.


3. Connecting Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) ️​

If your router supports WPS, you can connect your Canon printer without entering the Wi-Fi password.

✅ 3.1 Steps for WPS Setup

Step 1: Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on your Canon printer. Wait until the Wi-Fi light starts blinking.

Step 2: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.

Step 3: The printer will automatically connect to the router. When the Wi-Fi light on your printer stops blinking, it means the connection is successful.


4. Install Canon Printer Drivers & Software

Once your Canon printer is connected to Wi-Fi, you'll need to install the appropriate drivers and software to start printing from your devices.

✅ 4.1 Install Printer Drivers on Your Computer

Step 1: Go to the Canon support website and search for your printer model.

Step 2: Download and install the latest printer drivers and software for your operating system.

Step 3: During installation, select Wireless Connection when prompted. This will allow the software to detect your printer over the network.


5. Connect Printer to Your Devices

Now that your Canon printer is connected to Wi-Fi, you can print wirelessly from a variety of devices, including your laptop, smartphone, or tablet.

✅ 5.1 Printing from a Computer (Windows/Mac)

Step 1: Open the Control Panel (on Windows) or System Preferences (on Mac) and go to Devices and Printers or Printers & Scanners.

Step 2: Click on Add a Printer and select your Canon printer from the list of available printers.

Step 3: Click Next, and then select your printer as the default printer for easy access.

Step 4: Test the connection by printing a test page.

✅ 5.2 Printing from a Smartphone or Tablet (Android or iOS)

Step 1: For Android, download the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app from the Google Play Store. For iOS, use Apple AirPrint or download the Canon PRINT app from the App Store.
