Connecting your Canon printer to WiFi can seem daunting, but it’s a simple process with the right guidance. Whether you’re setting up your printer for the first time or reconnecting to a new network, this guide will walk you through the steps to ensure seamless wireless printing.
Most Canon printers are equipped with a control panel that allows you to connect to WiFi in just a few steps.
Turn on Your Printer
Ensure your Canon printer is powered on. If the display screen is off, press the power button to wake it up.
Navigate to Network Settings
On the printer’s control panel, press the Menu or Home button. Look for Network Settings or Wireless LAN Setup.
Select Wireless LAN Setup
Choose Wireless LAN Setup and confirm by pressing OK. The printer will start searching for available WiFi networks.
Choose Your Network
From the list of detected networks, select your WiFi network (SSID). Use the navigation buttons to scroll if needed.
Enter the Password
If your network is secured, enter the password using the printer’s keypad. Press OK after entering the password.
Connection Confirmation
The printer will establish a connection. Once successful, you’ll see a confirmation message or a WiFi icon on the printer’s screen.
For those with a router that supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), this method is quick and hassle-free.
Activate WPS on the Printer
Press and hold the WiFi button on your Canon printer until the WiFi light begins to blink. On some models, you may need to select the WPS option from the control panel.
Press the WPS Button on Your Router
Within two minutes of activating WPS on the printer, press the WPS button on your router. This allows the printer and router to sync.
Wait for Connection
The blinking WiFi light will stabilise once the connection is established.
For those who prefer managing settings via a smartphone, the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app is a convenient option.
Download and Install the App
Install the Canon PRINT app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Follow the App Instructions
Open the app and follow the on-screen prompts to detect your printer. Make sure your phone is connected to the same WiFi network you want the printer to use.
Select Your WiFi Network
Choose your network from the list, enter the password, and allow the app to complete the configuration.
