How To Add Canon Wireless Printer To Mac ?

In this article we will talk about how to add or connect a Canon wireless printer to mac. Before we get started we just want to say that this article is going to take into consideration that you have already unpackaged your printer and that you have plugged it in get it up and connected most importantly the same network that your computer or laptop is connected to so for example if your computer or laptop is connected to the wifi network. You want to make sure that the printer is on the and use the same network once that has been completed. The next step is to add this printer or canon printer to your computer or laptop which one you have.

So the first computer will be to go up the top left and to click on the apple icon on your device. 

  • You will navigate to system preferences and click on it from system preferences. And then we need to find the printers and scanner icon.
  • Once you will find it go canon.cpm/ijsetup ahead and click on it and now we will click on the printers and scanner panel in system preferences.
  • Now what you are gonna see here is gonna be a little bit different than what you see when you are working on this but it should be very similar. We are going to click the plus icon.
  • And then you see a couple printers, now you are in an office setting at the moment and we have a couple of printers obviously.
  • Now you will want to select the local printer that allows the near by printer to select the one that matches the model that you purchased in the gun package.
  • And just set up if it is not showing you might want to double check and make sure you are on the same wifi network and that is plugged in and powered on.
  • Because sometimes they can’t be detected unless they are powered up, now you will go to the front and select the canon ij driver.
  • And you will see it flash, getting set up and just as easy as that , you have set the canon  printer. These are the ij.start.cannon steps you can take to read this article very carefully.

Before connecting your printer to the network confirm that your wireless router is available and set up or add the canon wireless printer to mac. Now you will confirm whether your computer or laptop is connected to the network or not.  First you will turn your printer in and switch on the wireless printer. The power button will be lit when the printer is on. Now you will check the blue wifi light on your wireless printer. The wifi light should be flashing. If the wifi light is steady or off, hold down the wifi button until the amber alarm light flashes twice then release the button. Then the wifi light should begin to flash.
