Canon Printer Setup Support on Mac, Windows, and Wi-Fi

Setting up a Canon printer should be simple—but many users run into problems like missing drivers, Wi-Fi not connecting, or printers showing “offline.” At Print Setup Guide, we help customers every day who face exactly these challenges.

This guide will walk you through Canon printer setup on Windows, Mac, and wireless networks, along with details on how our paid remote support can get you printing in minutes if you prefer expert help.

Plug in the power cable, load paper, and install cartridges.
Keep your printer close to your Wi-Fi router if you plan a wireless setup.

2- Install Drivers and Software

Visit the official Canon Support website.
Enter your printer model and download the correct Windows drivers.
Run the installer and follow the prompts.

3- Add Printer in Windows Settings

Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.

Select your Canon printer from the list.

Canon Printer Wi-Fi Setup

Many users find Wi-Fi setup the trickiest part. Here’s how to do it:

WPS Method (if router supports it):
- Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the lamp flashes.
- Press the WPS button on your router.
- When both devices connect, the printer’s light will stay solid.
Standard Wi-Fi Setup (via control panel):
- On your printer’s screen, select Wi-Fi Setup > Wireless LAN Setup.
- Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
- Once connected, install drivers/software on your computer.
Using Canon PRINT App (for mobile):
