Linking the two is when someone leaves bogroll or a hankie in a trouser pocket and you end up with a white fluffy furry washing ![]()

technical help needed, not with the septic tank but with my new canon pixma printer, had one before great for years and now confused. Can anyone help me connect it with itâs wifi? I cant made head or tail f the instructionsâŠ
I had one of those. Wouldnât have it again but stillâŠ
2 ways of using wifi. One is the old way of connecting to to a wifi network then other devices on same network can see and use the printer.
More interesting is it should have WiFi Direct. This lets you print straight from your phone to the printer. Your phone will need to have WiFi Direct in its menu options for Networks and under that WiFi and if youâre lucky an option to activate for wifi direct in its Settings.
Youâll need to switch wifi on on the printer buttons - normally itâs a blue light. At the printer end it seems a âpassiveâ connection you just need to get the blue light up (wifi symbol next to it on the printer). Then the rest of the work is done by the wifi network seeing it. Either connect the phone Wifi Direct to it or alternatively check itâs showing on the wifi network.
I use my phones to provide wifi networks and alao fumbled my way to make it work without instructions.
If your Canon Pixma is anything like mine it may not remember settings or it may require something different next time you do the exact same thing. That instability is why I wouldnât have another one but you may be luckier than me
