It’s a bit frustrating to think of how many of our once-loved devices are now pretty much outdated. For example, millions fell behind the good old CD and DVD players with the advent of streaming services leaving a huge dent in the concept of physical media. However, a reliable printer is still a valuable commodity.
Industry giant Canon is one of the largest manufacturers of these office staples. An essential part of its success, of course, is the adaptation of the product to the market and customer requirements, ensuring comfort and ease of use. In the case of the printer specifically, being able to connect to the device via WiFi is a huge boon for avoiding the hassle of cables or fiddling with a USB port.
Fortunately, many Canon models make this process easy. Here’s how to do this on some of the manufacturer’s most popular models, and how to adapt the process depending on whether you’re using a Mac or PC.
