I’ve been having quite a bit of trouble connecting my printer to my computer. Recently, I bought a new laptop that runs on a different program, so the process of connecting the printer to my laptop has been pretty tricky. I’ve made it up to opening my control panel in step #2, so the information from step #3 onward should get me through the rest of the process. It helps to know that going to hardware and sound in my control panel will show all of my available printers. Now I should be able to connect my printer to my new laptop without any problems.

Yes Mark, I wish it was always cut a dry when working with printers too. But as we all know with technology it can throw you a curve ball. I find that printers are one of the top tech issues I deal with in my business. Glad that Canon had great tech support and fixed your printer issue.

The driver would not install until it connected with my wifi, which I tried several times going by their documentation. Always set a restore point before installing any new drivers and peripherals. It saved my butt. Finally had to break down and call tech support which I cant say enough good things about. It was refreshing that canon uses American support personnel. he had me download an app on my iphone from cannon that set the network up to finally recognize the printer and from there the driver finally loaded. seemed a little backwards but, whatever. Learned a lot from that experience. I wish it would always could be as cut and dried as your article.
