How to connect your Canon printer to Wi-Fi?

In today's time, the demand for wireless printers is increasing rapidly because they are not only convenient but also save us from the hassle of cables. If you have a Canon printer and want to connect it to Wi-Fi, then this guide is for you.

1. First, make sure that both your printer and Wi-Fi router are turned on. Also, place the printer in a place where the Wi-Fi signal is good.
2. Go to the control panel of the Canon printer and press the 'Setup' or 'Menu' button.
3. Navigate through the menu and select the 'Wireless LAN Setup' option. If your printer is a touchscreen model, this option will be clearly visible on the screen. For non-touchscreen models, use the navigation buttons.
4. Your printer will now scan for available Wi-Fi networks nearby. Here, select the name (SSID) of your Wi-Fi network. If your network name is not displayed, select the option to enter the SSID manually.
5. Enter your Wi-Fi network's password. In touchscreen printers, the keyboard will appear on the screen. For non-touchscreen printers, enter characters using the Navigation and OK buttons.
6. After entering the password, click on 'OK' or 'Connect' . If the connection is successful, the message 'Connected' will appear on the screen. If connection problems occur, re-check the password and network details.
7. If you haven't already installed a printer driver, download and install the driver for your printer model from ij.start.canon website. During installation, select the option 'Wireless Setup' .
8. Now print a test page to make sure your printer is working correctly. Select any document from computer or mobile and send it to the printer. If the print is successful, your printer is connected correctly.

If the network is disconnecting frequently, keep the router and printer closer. If you change the Wi-Fi password, you'll need to repeat this process. Now your Canon printer is connected to Wi-Fi and you can easily print from anywhere. This simple process saves both your time and effort.
