The Canon printers come in wired as well as wireless versions. Yet first-time users find it incredibly hard to connect the printer to their computers. That's why we've come up with numerous methods in this article to help you link your brand new Canon printer to your wifi and another necessary computer.

Steps to connect Printer to WiFi

In these articles, we will discuss two ways to connect the printer to Wifi.

1. The first method involves using the WPS button to connect the Canon Pixma Printer directly to your Wi-Fi network. Under this model, the user doesn't need the Wi-Fi password to enter. So essentially it's a quicker process.

2. But if the Wi-Fi router doesn't have a WPS button then we'll have to continue with the Pixma printer's traditional Wi-Fi setup mode.

WPS Connection

Before continuing with this process, make sure you have a physical WPS button on your Wi-Fi router, which we will use shortly. The router also needs to use a security protocol WPA or WPA2.

• Next, to turn it 'ON', push the printer's power button. Switch your Wifi router on via WPS button

• Next, choose the option 'LAN Wireless Setup' and click 'OK.' Your printer will now scan for your wireless network connection point.

• Pick your Wifi Network (in your router room, called Canon)

• Click on the Wifi Access Point after that, where it will ask for a passphrase or WPA Key. You must enter your wifi password here, and then press the 'OK' button.

• It will take a few seconds to create the Canon Printer connection with your wifi Network Access point.

• At this point, the Printer and the Router will automatically connect. The power and the Wi-Fi light stop blinking when the link takes place. They will then remain lit continuously after the contact.

Now Hopefully your query on how to connect canon printer to wifi will be solved.
