Thank you, so very much! I've had my printer for eight years and never printed wirelessly. Just purchased a new wireless printer... On my way back to Best Buy to return it! You rock!!!
This is not a user friendly printer
Facts bro
Why do you say that?? Kinda worried since I purchased it awhile ago but haven’t used it yet. But I can’t return it now.
@@kiraxo its such a complicated printer to use, and im very tech savy
It really isn't
I agree. Its a pain to set up
It worked perfectly! I wished I had seen this 2 years ago when we got it. Thank you!
If anyone is having issues getting the wireless set up, connect the printer via USB to a laptop or PC and follow the CD software setup and it will prompt you through getting it in the network and to the point where you won't need the USB cable once finished.
Thank you for posting this video! Before I found your helpful video, I spent a long time trying to figure out how to connect my printer to Verizon Fios. You helped me connect my printer successfully. Thank you!!!
The printer was a bit complicated to hook up th-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 but it does the job very efficiently. I like the ink wells versus the ink cartages that cost an arm and a leg. It prints quickly and the quality is excellent. It shuts off when not in use, so you have to remember to turn it on. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. I'll update my review in a couple of months.
Thank you! I spent about 2 hours trying to figure it out on my own. 4 minutes saved me another 2 hours🙄
This was SO HELPFUL! I was getting completely frustrated before watching this. THANK YOU so much!!!
This video was fast, easy & great to follow instructions - WELL DONE, THANK YOU!!!
Okay, thanks. Download the app and connect the printer with the wireless. This video is so useful
It worked! (not exactly as shown, but it worked). I wish I had found this video before I spent two hours trying to make sense out of the printer documentation....
had to follow the instructions on the app, but eventually got it to work
Finally I can use my printer
none of these options are displaying the way you're narrating them.
How do you make the prints come out brighter
Is there a place for dummies to understand connecting.?? Android continues to search as well as chromebooks.
Hi there! We have some additional resources on our Wireless Help page at Canon.us/mr5j If you're still having trouble, our support team can help you get it connected. They can be reached directly at Canon.us/ContactYT We hope this helps!
CanonUSA still have question. What is a paraphrase?... I've tried several suggested ways. Also how to get numbers on keyboard. I have wifi now wifi password on but paraphrase eludes me.
Feeling dumb...
Hi Cindi! The passphrase mentioned in our Cableless Setup is the password you have on your wireless network. This will be something either you set or it will be posted on your router.
One tip I can advise all trying make sure you pay attention to the steps word for word....if you select something wrong all will be off..
Worked perfectly!!!
this video is good for people with router. I need to connect and printer directly from my android phone to the printer. how does that work
Hi, Lambert!
To connect your PIXMA MX490 without a router, go to Google Play to get the free Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app. With your printer turned on, run the app, tell it to perform the printer setup, and let the app connect to the printer directly. The app will walk you through the process from there.
If you continue to have trouble, our tech support team will be happy to help you. Contact them anytime at canon.us/SupportYT
We hope this helps!
really useful and clear instruction , thanks
Thank you soo much it really helped me to setup my S21 Ultra. Thank you.

Thank you Tracy
CanonUSA for IPhone it doesn’t work?
Very helpful, thanks!
Hi, Canon.
Do you have videos like that for the Canon PIXMA E481? I bought one online and I'm just waiting to receive it at home, but I would like to learn about it.
Can you please confirm the Pixma Print Link and Google Cloud Print features of this print?
Thank you.
Hi, Carlos! Thanks for writing to us! The PIXMA E481 is not a model that was released here in the USA. Our friends with Canon in your region can provide more insight as to the capabilities of the printer. Please go to global.canon/en/support and select the appropriate region and country to locate their contact information. Hope this helps!
Thanks! I already made a contact and they said that it has both functions. I just wanted to confirm.
Thanks worked beautifully.
Does this printer need to be in a wireless network to print from a phone? Can I print from directly from my phone directly, with no wi-fi?
Hi! If using a wireless router isn't an option, your PIXMA MX490 can communicate with your smartphone directly when you put the printer in access point mode. The printer's manual explains how to do this. Hope this helps!
Thank you....your step by step instructions was very easy to follow and a success for me😀
hepled me get to a point where i could follow the further instructions on my phone
router is necessary or we can also used mobile hotspot?
Hi David. As long as the printer is on the same wireless network as your device. For wireless help, take a look at our wireless help guide at: Canon.us/pmye
Thank you. Very helpful.
Please help me Canon, I connected my android LGK20 with printer but the printer only print blank papers, the document does not show. Ink and everything is working ok.
Can't believe, Canon technical support couldn't help me resolving this issue, they sent me to my wireless phone provider ( of course they couldn't either) , I have not much understanding about how to resolve these issues but I found out that my printer needed a software update and that's what I did, problem solved by myself! Just using my mind.
Sooo helpful...thank you...now my printer wifii set up done
I like this printer. But screen is hard to read. Needs to have back light. Or I haven't figured it out.
Can I use the hotspot from my home for the printer since I don’t have WiFi at home?
Hi, Amy! If communicating with a Wi-Fi router isn't an option, your PIXMA MX490 can communicate with your wireless device directly when you put the printer in Access Point mode.
We hope this helps!
Sir can I use this video for over TH-cam channel
Hello:
Requests such as this should be sent to our Public Relations group. You can find contact information at the link here: Canon.us/contactpr. Note this video is released by Canon USA and only relates to products sold in the United States.
We hope this helps.
Easy to do if you have a wifi router available, but a pita following the instructions it came with or from Canon website, to connect to and print from a smartphone.
does the mx492 take 82.7x11.69 or a4 paper?
Hi, Jay! Yes, your PIXMA MX492 can use A4-size paper. Hope this helps!
Does this also connect wirelessly to a PC?
It sure can, Chris! You can follow the same steps shown in this video to get your PIXMA MX490 onto your network. You'll want to install the computer software on the CD that came with the printer, and if you're unable to use the CD, you can visit canon.us/kyg2 to download everything for free. Once you've got everything installed, your computer should be able to see the printer on your network.
We hope this helps!
Love it!! Worked perfectly.
I installed the MX 490 printer with the CD and the USB cable. I also installed the Canon Print app so I could print from my tablet and phone, but it won't print. I don't understand why the option of installing the printer through the CD and setting up wireless printing all at once isn't an option?
Hi! If you're having trouble using your PIXMA MX490-series printer on your computer or any of your mobile devices, we recommend contacting our friendly tech support team for free assistance. You can visit canon.us/SupportYT to reach them 24/7.
We hope this helps!

Hi Carlos, I just printed out a document about ten minutes ago and now I'm trying g to print out something completely different using the same method. But my phone is saying "cannot perform this action because printer is already in use." How do I get the printer to print this other document I'm trying to print?

Hi do I need to buy a separate cord for set up to connect my printer to my laptop device
Hello Dominique! You can use a standard A to B USB cable to connect the printer directly to your laptop.
Can this not be done without the app
Hi! As shown in the video, the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app is required to complete the process. You'll find this lightweight app for free in Google Play.
Hope this helps!
How about sending or receiving a fax ?
To send or receive a fax, you will need to connect the printer to a landline. Once you've done that, you will find instructions here: canon.us/3KyZljd

I'm trying to print an eBay shipping label from my phone. I have my phone directly connected wirelessly to the printer. I hit the "print label" button on eBay nothing happens. Please help.
Hi there! Printing functions from within applications other than Canon PRINT, such as web browsers, should work. However, if you can, try saving the label as a document, then printing it directly from the Canon PRINT app. Our support team will be happy to walk you through it as well. Feel free to give them a call at 1-800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666) weekdays between 10 AM and 10 PM ET. We hope this helps!
This helped a lot it definitely works thanks bro
Need to know how to print on both size
Hi Vanessa! While two-sided printing is available when printing from Windows or a Mac, it is not an option when printing from a mobile device using the PRINT app. We hope this information helps!
Just quick question I’ve purchased the pixma mx492 so I’m wondering there’s a way to turn lighting on the screen and keyboard device? Or doesn’t work at all.
Can i print shipping label with this?
Hi there! You can indeed print a shipping label with the PIXMA MX490. However, we recommend not using adhesive backed papers to do it. We hope this helps!
How do I fax something? Thank you in advance

What if my printer is Mx886 how do I set it up
Hello, EBG Jex! You have reached CanonUSA and the MX886 is a model offered outside the US market. It was originally released in the Hong Kong and Indonesian markets in 2011, but has been retired from support. In the US, we had a similar model, the MX882 but it has also been retired from support, so no updates to drivers or software have been developed since 2016. Thanks for reaching out!

Not working for me
I get to the point of selecting the wireless network, which my phone is already connected to, and it says printer not found. What then??
When it tries to connect, there is a popup message saying "Canceled the process." and a message saying "You're connected to the unsecure Wi-Fi network, "Canon_ij_Setup". Do you want to disconnect? This does not make sense.
Hi, Christine! We're sorry to hear the printer isn't connecting. Our friendly support team can look into this further and ensure you get connected via email or phone at canon.us/SupportYT. We look forward to hearing from you!

This worked but the app is not at all the same anymore so the steps for that are no longer super valid. Only now it only prints from the App and not my computer which is the goal. Turns out I just had to restart my gateway/modem and then restart the computer. Figures.

Hi there! We have another video that can help you connect your printer to your computer. Check it out! th-cam.com/video/ppMf61qIMww/w-d-xo.html
Ok thank u
why the heck does not include a manual in it ..
That's a really good question, Racheal! The Mac version of the manual for the PIXMA MX490 is 776 pages long. The Windows version is 1,004 pages long! That would make for two really thick, heavy books if we were to print them out. Instead, we included them as PDF files on the CD packaged with the printer. This saves paper, saves weight, and allows for more compact packaging.
We hope this helps!
Thank you!
