I got this printer last year. when it works, it works really well. But I would rather be struck by lighting instead of setting it up. I've setup many things in my life and this is by far the worst. I wouldn't wish these struggles upon my worst enemy. I've spent 2 hours trying to set it up and nothing the manual or app says to do works. Now I am going to become increasingly depressed because this printer makes me feel incompetent. Thank you canon.
Best one I see. Many have had issue with this printer. I have not and I have a few. Maybe one day I will. I have worked on electronics since the 80s is why I may understand a bit more. So, far as the wifi set this is the best and simple video I seen. It does work indeed. Now to the password which is long on most standard wifi boxes to most. Most contain numbers and abc and or A, b,c. Caps. Press this on the printer- * just above tone. It will change all you need to do for caps and numbers to lower case. Each press does something. When you get the hang of it such is not so hard. Press that button above TONE....
Thank you Joseph. You are an uber mensch, and a maximum dude. I know it was six months ago that you posted this, but it saved me a boat load of head banging time over that god awful canon control panel/display. You rock. 👍
Best of all instructions! The instructions included in the box are very confusing. They should just add a DVD or this link. It took me a few minutes. Thank you!!
After losing connection a while ago my wife and I weren’t able to reconnect . We watched several videos unsuccessfully. Yours was the only one that worked ( first try ) thank you so much for your help .
Thank you so much for the tutorial! You are the best! There are so many little details about this printer that can easily be missed and make my life very frustrating, but you save me every time. Thank you again!
The first time I did this it took me 2 hours. This time it was little more than 5 minutes. I did have to look up how to move between numbers and letters for the password (*). Thank you for this!
First of all three of your videos have helped me so much I really appreciate your content. My problem is this printer doesn’t ask for my password therefore the connection fails every time what should I do?
I've been trying to set up this printer for 2 hours and I still can't get it to wirelessly print from my phone maybe I can get it working after watching your video thanks 🤣🤣
Happy New Year to all. I have this printer, gifted to me but when I try to wirelessly connect, I do not get the option to enter password. After it says searching for router, I get error. Any help? I’ve tried over and over. Am I doing something wrong?
I've all the steps all the way through selecting the wifi router. When I press OK instead of prompting me to enter a passphrase, it just automatically begins to connect, and then obviously fails because its a secured network. What could the problem be here?
I just changed the ink in mine and it is going crazy. It won't feed the paper and I'm getting the error light. Only Canon is on the screen and I can't do settings or nothing. And it won't turn off, I have to unplug it. HELP
Hermanas Ventura There is an icon on the top of the screen I believe. Push the tone button and you will see it change from A to a and then push it again and it will change to 1
I don't know the password when it asks to enter the password! HELP! I have tried for over a month to reconnect my printer to my Chromebook and my Android mobile phone again.
I know its a year late so maybe this helps someone else.. gotta hit the star key on bottom left. It will change from lower case/upper case/numbers which is indicated on the right side of the display
Is this printer plagued with the corrupt hp practice of forcing consumers to buy ink that is not needed? And when you don't buy their insanely expensive ink on command, they make your printer non operational.
Epson is getting sued over this now. I had 3rd party ink, called support over wireless issue, they said to update firmware and after my ink didn't work. Had to go to store after they wouldn't give me the previous firmware file to role back the update. .... I joined a complaint, I hope it's real because that was real BS

Press Tone* once for UPPERCASE
Press Tone* twice for NUMBERS
Thank you.
Perfect! So much better than the official Canon videos that make you install all their malware. 🎉
Thank you so much for the tutorial! You are the best! There are so many little details about this printer that can easily be missed and make my life very frustrating, but you save me every time. Thank you again!
The only Indian accented English voice I will ever trust..Thank you!
You rock! Canon should pay YOU for this!
Dude you saved my printer from death thank you
The first time I did this it took me 2 hours. This time it was little more than 5 minutes. I did have to look up how to move between numbers and letters for the password (*). Thank you for this!
how did you managed to write down your password if it has letters and numbers
I was shocked there too. Thanks .. just use the * to move from letters to numbers ...
First of all three of your videos have helped me so much I really appreciate your content. My problem is this printer doesn’t ask for my password therefore the connection fails every time what should I do?
Try reset and setup again or try wifi setup using smart phone.
Happy New Year. This is the same problem I’m having too. I’m not being asked for password and get error.
Great. Thank you so much! I looked at five other videos and all were unclear in spots, but not yours!
Amazing. Setting up wireless printing with this thing is like an old Nintendo infinite lives easter egg. Thanks for this!
Omg thank you this was painful truly without you
Awesome tutorial!!! By far the easiest one I found.
Thank you. I was at a loss, you saved the day. 😅

I've been trying to set up this printer for 2 hours and I still can't get it to wirelessly print from my phone maybe I can get it working after watching your video thanks 🤣🤣
Wow, i didn't even know that this printer was wifi support. 😵.. thanks
Do you have to enter the Wi-Fi password every time you use the printer?
You are my savior! ❤🎉
was about to throw this printer in the trash, now I can print from my phone! Thank You!
Thank you for posting this video! You made so easy to understand! Thank you sir!
Awesome video. It successfully helped me connect it. Do you have an ink cartridge replacement video?
Hi, Thanks. I do not have ink replacement video for it.

Awesome thanks man

How do you get the tone * button to work 🤔 it doesn't do anything when I click it. In order to input my wifi password.
bless your heart
Was unable to do it without you
"FAILED TO CONNECT" "TIMEOUT ERROR" I can't.
I love you!!!! Thank you soooo much
Thank you
Thank you!!!!! It worked!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
What if after choosing the WiFi name it says “Failed to connect to the wireless router” it did not ask me for the password..
Try doing setup again but before that reset the printer.
Hey brother I'm trying to connect to my T-Mobile wifi tower. And after following your direction I doesn't ask for password please help.
Did you figure it out? Mine dies the same.
@jamesr268 no I had to get a new one.
I just changed the ink in mine and it is going crazy. It won't feed the paper and I'm getting the error light. Only Canon is on the screen and I can't do settings or nothing. And it won't turn off, I have to unplug it. HELP

Mine doesn’t ask me to put in passphrase. It goes straight to connecting then says it can’t connect
Mine does the same thing I even tried resetting the printer it’s self and nothing it keeps doing the same thing.
MIne also
Really helpful. Thankyou
Ok but what if your printer is set up, but you got a new laptop, and it can't detect the printer?
thanks , not a lot of talking just to the point
Thanks!
its not asking me to enter a password it just goes to connecting. What should i do?
you're a hero
Use the * to move from letters to numbers if the Wifi Password has numbers ...
omg thank u sm
How do you select numbers for the WiFi password???? It won’t let me 😭
I lost my internet connection and now I cannot connect anymore even after trying your tutorial :((
Thank you so much I did it
damn this was helpful asf thank you
How do we select numbers on the pad? It only lets me select letters, but not the actual number itself
I think # button needs to be pressed to see if it changes
@@CopyPrintScanChannel Pressing the * button alternates among lower case, upper case and numbers
@@rickbarron9529 Golden. Yes, it does just that. I learned when you get the hang of it such is pretty simple.
My is on, connected to comp. Comp won’t recognize it
why after i press the wps button & ok, its said connecting.. but then error. it doesn't select my wifi or password.
Use other method not wps to connect to network.
@@CopyPrintScanChannel it's working now. turn out that I have to put the modem really close to the printer. if far doesn't work
Unable to enter number from password. Pls advise
thanks friend!!!
it still will not print, i did exactly as shown
How do I put in the numbers
Push the tone button on the bottom and the icon on the top will change to A a or 1.
I’m trying to put in #s 095 and the tone button doesn’t help. Please help
@@shawnaanderson7476 what icon
Hermanas Ventura There is an icon on the top of the screen I believe. Push the tone button and you will see it change from A to a and then push it again and it will change to 1

Getting numbers and capital letters in the password is impossible.
I know its a year late so maybe this helps someone else.. gotta hit the star key on bottom left. It will change from lower case/upper case/numbers which is indicated on the right side of the display
