Connecting your Canon printer to WiFi doesn’t have to be hard. With a few simple steps, you can get your printer working wirelessly and start printing from your phone, laptop, or computer in no time. This guide will walk you through the process in plain and easy-to-follow language.
Begin by switching on your Canon printer. Make sure it’s plugged into power and the indicator light is steady. Wait a few moments until the printer’s screen shows the main menu before moving to the next step.
Now, open your printer’s Settings or Menu option using the control buttons or touchscreen. Look for something that says Network Settings, Wireless Setup, or LAN Settings. These options allow your printer to search for WiFi connections.
Select Wireless LAN Setup from the list. The printer will begin looking for available WiFi networks nearby. It might take a few seconds to display all the network names.
When you see your home WiFi name (SSID), highlight and select it. If your WiFi is hidden, you can type in the name manually. Make sure you choose the correct network to avoid connection issues later.
Next, enter your WiFi password. Use the printer’s keypad or touchscreen carefully to enter each character. Double-check the password for accuracy before pressing OK or Connect.
After entering the password, your Canon printer will try to connect to the WiFi. This step may take a minute. Once the connection is successful, you’ll see a message or a WiFi icon appear on your printer’s display.
Now that your Canon printer is online, you need to add it to your device.
On a computer: Go to Settings → Printers & Scanners → Add a printer. Your Canon model should appear automatically—select it and finish the setup.
On a phone or tablet: Install the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app from Google Play or the App Store. Open the app and follow the steps to connect your printer.
Once everything is connected, print a small test page to confirm the connection. If it prints without errors, you’re all set! Your Canon printer is now ready to print wirelessly from any connected device.
Setting up your Canon printer with WiFi is simple when you follow these easy steps. It saves time, reduces cable clutter, and lets you print from anywhere in your home or office.
