      I have had two canon printers and was glad when they left. Both were always difficult to use. Many times they invented a reason they could not print. Very frustrating. The canon eco tank model I just got rid of cost $400 three years ago and just died. The ink pads filled up and there is no fix available.
      I will never buy a canon product again! Junk really.

    Hello Eric. Listen son, you are freaking brilliant. I have watched tutorials to set up my printer every time it goes out after lightning or power cuts. You are the first information sharer that gave it to me in a Chop Chop shortcut setup. God bless you. I am thankful. This time I left the darn thing for a month since I did not want to go reset it for an hour going through setting after setting. 5 minutes into your video and I am done and very happy. You're the Bomb man. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    It took hours and was tired/desperate and prayed for help. Your video caught my attention.
    My new wifi router does not have a WPS button. Which was a pain in the butt to troubleshoot until I came across your video.
    The last method finally was what worked for me in my situation.

    Thanks so much. I started out trying all three methods, none of whish worked! But then I looked up how to use WPS on my TP-Link Router and found that the button should only be pushed for 1 second, not 5 secs as stated on the printer screen. That did the trick and now I am connected. Your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow!

  • @jessepadilla3154
    @jessepadilla3154 2 года назад +1

    Any idea how to have the enter passphrase key screen popup? Whenever I go to select my wireless network, the step to enter passphrase skips and it goes right to connecting. I have trie d manually resetting LAN settings, but that doesn't't seem to wipe the printer's LAN memory. I've tried resetting all setting on the printer to no avail. I changed my routers to something better, one without a WPS button, my name is the same on my network as the previous router

    • @patriziarots3807

  • @victoriayardley7358
    @victoriayardley7358 Месяц назад

    Thank you for this! It's much more helpful than the official manual which seems to talk about connecting to wifi in vague generalities without giving any actual instructions on how to do it, or at least I couldn't find any. On my printer, the LCD display doesn't seem to give any indication of what all the setup options mean (just numbers, and I couldn't find a key to the numbers anywhere!) so I wasn't able to get Method 1 to work, but the phone app method worked well for me.

  • @zachrez6562
    @zachrez6562 17 дней назад

    Thank you for this! It really made it easy! ...two things I would add that might trip people up, like me, is that after the printer is connected you still have to ADD PRINTER in your computer. Secondly, go into printer preferences and make sure it is set to the same paper you are using in the printer. The main dingdong on this is between "A4" and "letter". If you do not tell your computer that the printer you added has which specific paper you put in it, it will have an error message. (In the time it took me to make this comment, I did my first printing by wifi! Yoohooo!)

    Very informative. I'm running into another problem with cannon G3260. I had already connected to wifi network and now i'm trying to change network and connect to another wifi router. For some reason it feels like it has stored the earlier wifi password and using that to connect new wifi network hence times out with all three methods. Also, in all three methods I do not get a prompt to enter password for new network. I have tried reset all settings but no luck. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

      Did you ever get an answer about the hotspot?

    1 question, Would I have to reenter the password if the electricity goes down? Or will it return when the electricity returns?

    My Canon printer 5300 although it can print it says when trying to scan : USB disconnected, Scanner is off. Neither of these things is true. Could it be that a long time ago someone connected the WiFi which still has a blue symbol on the printer which I can not discover where to turn it off?
