Windows 10: PC cant find new wifi printer

I have windows 10 on my laptop. I just bought a Canon Pixma MG 3050 printer. Although the printer has connected to the Internet my PC can't find it! I've tried all the troubleshooters and downloaded a new driver from Canon but my PC still cannot find it...help!!

Canon printer wifi trouble

Set a static IP on the printer else each time it switches off and on may get different ip which may not function correctly
Try
Delete the Printer after setting static ip

Devices and printer
>add printer
>>Add local printer (not network even though on wifi)
>>>Create new port - click standard Tcp/Ip
>>>>enter ip address of printer that set before and any port name
Select the printer driver from list

Try a test print to see if working then switch off and on and see if come back online

See if comes back online

Network Printer can either be set by Ip address or Printer network name
Static ip always the best to set

 

Looking for a new Printer

i cant help since my printer knowledge is limited, but listing the features you need would help a lot.

USB? wifi? LAN?

Colour/Black only?

does all in one include scanner/copier?

 

Canon printer wifi trouble

Basically, with that kind of wifi printer, I can't turn the printer off ?

I should probably remove the sleep mode aswell.
