How to Install a Wireless Canon Printer

For many years, Canon printers have been a popular choice for both home and office. The manufacturer has created a number of wireless printers that make it easy to print your work from anywhere in your home or office network. If you have a wireless network, you can connect a Canon wireless-enabled printer to your network in minutes

1. Remove your printer from the box and remove all of the packaging material that came with it. Your printer will ship with a piece of tape holding the cover shut, so be sure you remove this tape before setting your printer in place.

2. Find a suitable spot for the printer on your desk, then install the print cartridges in the printer. Plug the printer in and power it on.

4. Log on to your computer and insert the software installation CD that came with your Canon printer. Allow the software to install and find your printer. You may be prompted for the name of your wireless network during the installation process. You can find this information by placing your mouse cursor over the wireless network icon in your system tray. You may also be prompted for the password you created to secure your wireless network, so make sure you have that available as well.

5. Connect the wireless USB setup cable when prompted by the software. Connect the square end of the USB cable to the printer, then connect the flat end to a free USB port on your computer. The USB slots on your computer will be small slots, two or three grouped 6. 6. together. Remove the USB cable when you receive notification that the installation is complete. The printer will now be communicating with your wireless router via its built-in wireless card
