I have a Pixma MP970 that is connected by ethernet cable to wifi network router. The printer works on the home wifi network but the scanner says it is not connected. Both scanner and printer will work on USB cable. To get the printer on my home network I had to make a new port manually with MAC codes -it wont work otherwise since MP970 doesnt have its own wifi. The scanner used to work on the wifi network, probably before I had installed Windows 10. I have uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled using the CD installer that came with the printer. I know the printer is old but I cant help thinking that there must be a fix so I can use the scanner on the wifi network, as I used to.
