Setting up wireless printing.

Hi all

I have a lexmark printer that works fine when plugged in using USB, and I also have a wireless router that supports a onboard print server.

I cant seem to get the printer to work from the router? I have installed the correct drivers, but it just wont resolve.

Any suggestions?

 

Cannon Printer wont connect to Router

Cannon Printer wont connect to Router

I am trying to get my Cannon Pixma MG6650 to print Wireless using my Router its a Netgear N300.

I have the correct drivers from Cannon but when i run through the Setup at the end it says it cant find it on the Network.

Cannon told me to go to this link:
https://www.canon.co.uk/support/con...6650.aspx?type=faq&faqdetailid=tcm:14-1193197

but this is not much help since this is the first time i have ever had to set up a Wireless Printer. I am NOT a newbie to PC's. It works fine via a USB. But this was not why i bought it.

Its Windows Ten 64 Pro. I go through all the Cannon Setup Programe and it detects the Access Point but when it get to the end of the Setup with the Printers on Network list it is not on it.

I have tried what it says to do if the Setup can't find it clicking Next, Update, Setting printer could not be found on the list. It still will not work.


Cannon said do this:

First please press the HOME button:

1. Select ‘Setup’ and press OK

2. Select ‘Device Settings’ and press OK

3. Select ‘LAN Settings’ and press OK

4. Select ‘WLAN Setup’ and press OK

5. Select other connection methods and select ‘Standard’

6. Select your access point

7. Enter your password and connect

The password is located on the back of your router.

Once you have connected your printer to the wireless network, please download and install the drivers on every computer you would like to use with your printer, select the wireless connection method in order to print wirelessly.

The link for the drivers were sent to you in a previous email.

I have ran a Program called Advanced IP Scanner. It shows My Router, Network Adapter, Ipad,
Cannon Printer the IP's and MAC Address.

When i Ping the Printer from the Program i get: Request Timed Out, Packets Sent = 4 Received = 0 Lost = 4 100% Loss.


I am at a Loss.

 

Printer will print test patterns, but not documents.

I have a Cannon Pixma MG5520 that can print a test pattern just fine, but when I try to print a document in just prints out that number of blank pages. I have not used that printer in a few months, and when I put new ink in it and printed out a test pattern,
it seems to print just fine. but when I tried to print a document, it will only print out at best a watermark, but usually the pages are blank. I have already upgraded the drivers off of Cannon's website.

I'm at a loss.
