I recently had Spectrum to come to my house to install internet service. I have a new box from Spectrum and my Cannon printer will not print. Spectrum told me, in order to get the printer to work, that I had to call Cannon. Spectrum told me that the printer was offline, because I have a new box.

MG3250 not connecting & printing via WiFI on Mac OS Sierra

$

Hello,

 

I've been using a MG3250 printer for the past three years via WiFi, starting with OS X Mavericks. Back then, I'd configured the WiFi connection using the setup application Canon provided. After switching the ISP a few weeks ago and having to reconfigure the WiFi connection, the printer worked fine until today. Apparently, it lost the connection and won't reestablish it - it stays shown as not connected.  Printing via USB works fine, using the Canon IJ Network Tool from 2013 to configure the WiFi connection - I believe - also does, because it does recognize the printer when connected via USB and it - apparently - also loads the configuration onto the printer. I've tried connecting it via WPS, which did not work, and given that the initial setup application doesn't work on Sierra anymore - it doesn't start -, I haven't been able to try the Standard Connection Method.

 

Any ideas on how I might solve this problem?

 

Thanks. 

Where, oh where, is my scanner?

I just bought a Canon MG6821 printer/scanner. Although the Best Buy salesperson assured me that it "should be easy" to set it up, I spent an hour on the phone with a Geek Squad person.  He got it set up wirelessly.  I can print from my iMac (running Yosemite) and from my new iPad Pro.  Today I discovered that I cannot scan.  The computer cannot find the scanner and vice versa.  Another hour online with the Geek Squad was of NO help.  They suggest that someone come to my home.  For a brand new device!  Before I return it, any help would be appreciated.  I am a senior citizen who needs EASY directions if there is a fix.

 

Here is the message I get....Screen Shot 2017-01-21 at 4.25.56 PM.png

IP7240 not on wireles network

Hi,

 

After I changed from ADSL to Fibre, I have been unable to use my Pixma IP7240 wirelessly. It works fine via USB, but when I "Add printer" the printer doesn't show up. If I hold the blue wireless button on the printer until it starts flashing and then press the WPS button on my router, I get a message asking for the WPS Pin for the IP7240 - haven't a clue where to find that!

 

Please help :-(

Wireless printing on PXIMA MX 492

Hello all,

 

Until recently the wireless printing on my PIXMA MX 492 was working just fine. I changed my router, and ever since I have not been able to print wirelessly. I can connect to the wireless network with the printer, as it is able to detect local routers. I am able to type the password on the printer, and the following prompt says that I am connected. However when I try to print/scan from my computer or phone, these devices say that no printer is detected.

 

When I first got the printer, I was simply able to have the printer search for the wireless router, connect to it, and I was ready to print/scan as described above. 

 

I have followed the instructions from this video, which does something I've never had to do previously to get the printer to print wirelessly:

but it still does not work.

 

My other wireless devices work just fine, but my printer is not able to print/scan wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated

Printer Offline Unable To Connect

Hi All, My name is Ashleigh. I have just bought a MG3250 wireless printer. I went through the connection setup method process however, I am still unable to connect. I followed all the instructions correctly. Inserting the CD-ROM next, I pressed the maintenance button for 5 seconds and finally pressing the fit to page button. I waited for about two minutes then in the LED display I get the error code E, 2, 1.

 

It says if you receive this error you should "If the access point is already turned on, turn it off, and then turn it back on.

Does that mean turn your router on and off? I don't understand what access point is. I jope this doesn't sound a stupid question. I am not very tech savy.

 

Thanks

I need a connection and security code to use a printer app on my iPad for canon pixma mp560

I have a pixma mp560 home printer and I can't figure out how to find the connection and security codes to use with an iPad app. Also, on another app, I have the printer registered but when I am on a page and ask to print, the iPad can't find an "air printer" even though the wi-if blue light is on on the printer. I can, however, print from my photos. 

Makes no sense. If anyone has an answer for either of these problems, I'd sure like to know.  Thank you

MG3600 setup can't select direct connection

Hi, I've just bought a MG3600 printer and is trying to set it up through wireless connection.

I don't have a router, so I'm attempting to use the direct connection, however the option of direct connection in the setup program on my laptop simply greys out and can't be selected. My system is windows 8.1, is direct connection not supported in this system? Or is there something else I should do before the direct connecting option becomes available?

Everything else besides the setup program seem to have went well, the direct connection network appeared and I was able to connect to it on my laptop.

Wireless printing apps for PIXMA MX452 & Android devices

We have a Cannon PIXMA MX452 &  the followng Verizon Androids: LG G4 & Samsung Galaxy S5.  We would like to print wirelessly from these devices.  You have 2 Android apps called CANON PRINT INKJET/SELFY & CANON PRINT SERVICE.

 

Both list the MX450 as one of the supported printer models, but doesn't specifically list the MX452, however I'm assuming will work for the MX452.

 

My question is are:

 

1) CANON PRINT INKJET/SELFY app asks to either scan the barcode, or to input the printer's "connection code" & "security code".  The very tiny barcode (approx 1/4" x 1") on the bottom of the computer does not scan, nor do I see any information about the CONNECTION/SECURITY CODES. 

 

Please tell me what these codes are so I can enable the app.

 

2) CANON PRINT SERVICE app asked found my network wifi, and wanted the IP address.  I exited the app to look that  up, but now it says nothing about the IP address.  What do I do next?

Hi, I am hoping I can find some help setting up my printer on my wireless network for the first time.

I am trying to set it up wirelessly and have a router in the same room, but my laptop is unable to find the printer on the device list,despite several attempts. It did not come with a cord, so I cannot just connect via USB. Any insight would be much appreciated.
