I am... Impressed. After a day of beating my head against the brick wall that was Canon's instructions I found this. And it is so much BETTER. No leaving out key parts, no assuming that we are both experienced IT people and utter technophobes at the same time. 15 minutes total and most of that was me figuring out how to put in the password. Again, so much better than the official instructions and help.
I literally NEVER leave a comment on a video but someone should buy this man a beer! This is the most concise instructional video I have ever watched. What I thought would take me hours, only took me the 8 minutes of this video. AMAZING!
OMG! Thank you! I could no longer scan with my old MP250 because Canon didn't make a scanner driver for it on windows 11. They want me to buy another printer even though mine still prints and copies perfectly. Thanks to your video I saw that Microsoft had a scanner driver and, yayyy, it makes my printer scan again. You've saved me a bundle of $$. Thank you.
This was a GREAT video. You were direct. You were linear. You showed what you were doing as you were doing it. It was clear and concise. Beautiful presentation for someone neurodiverse, like me. Merci, Monsieur! C'est tres bien!
I doordashed this wifi printer, unfortunately the WIFI would not connect. The manual WIFI setup says it doesn't connect to 5ghz wifi, which is the standard since 2014, and it is today 2024, so no wonder it is selling for discount. I had to doordash another order for a printer USB cable since they are USB type B and not the standard Type A or C connectors. After which I found this video extremely helpful in going through the procedure of getting this to print. For me all I had to do as plug it in and follow the prompts as the video demostrated and holy shit it works! Thank you good sir for a great video! I'd give you 2 thumbs up if I could!
I am dead serious I watched this video for the scanner setup..... Who would have thought that the reason I couldn't scan stuff was because I didn't have the scanner app. What happened to things being basic plug the cord in and it's connected. hahaha derp. Thank you for doing this for people like me who need a little extra guidance but don't really want to ask again lol. You are defiantly my hero right now!!!!
Thank you. I've dreaded trying to connect this printer for two weeks. Seems I got lucky, I found this video and in less than 10 minutes, I was up and printing. The only note is I never found the little box in the bottom left corner to connect my Macbook. Instead, I went to system preferences, found printers and connected that way. Otherwise, every detail was spot on!
My printer instructions was showing blank paper laying on the light gray tray for the printer to pull in and use... You showed in your video that the paper went under the gray tray in between the 2 blue adjustable paper guides. Thank you very much. Now I need to figure out how to get it to print darker. Great video thx a lot. :)
thank u for your video, i kepted putting the paper on top and not on the side and then it would print, but thanks to your video i was doing it all wrong. thank u
Best video (only one actually showing setup, how to install ink, etc.) ! I used the Canon app to connect to my android phone, so didn't watch the entire video. Thank you! No instructions with my printer, just the code to scan for the app! I'm 72 yo! I like written instructions! Lol!
Great video. Canon app sucks. But I did through out 2 perfectly good cartridges and added starter and it still wouldn't work until I read the comment below about pressing super hard. Then it works and I cried about my unused cartridges since they cost about the same as the printer. Second little Canon though. Workhorse!
I just got this printer for Christmas and when I install the ink cartridges, the printer says they’re not installed and is still prompting me to install them… any help?
this was more informative than the cannon website, the only thing, when it came to entering numbers in the pw was like whoa. I appreciate the time you took to do this tutorial though.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm always surprise to see how Canon, a multi billion $ company can't produce clear and easy to understand tutorials for their own products.
I have a question. I just need this to make copies, do you need to go through all the steps setting up the computer if you only plan on using it for making copies and not printing anything from the computer?
Bought a Brother Printer about 2 an a half years ago. Color print stopped working, and the cost for replacement isn't worth it. Is a Canon worth the money?
To Find The PDF Option File Type area: In the Left pane, just below the Scanner, you can see the Source. change from Auto-Configured to Flatbed and then you can selt PDF as the File Type drop-down. A Neat hidden option.
I'm on the Mac, and your video provided the necessary information. For reference, I was not able to find the delete key when entering the WIFI password. So I just started the Manual WIFI Setup over; selected my WIFI; and entered the password correctly after a few tries. As you said, the asterisk button changes the current character input from lowercase to uppercase to number. The best part is that your video provided the information I needed. The online Canon manual was useless. The paper "jammed" the first time I tried to print, but this was because I pushed the paper too far forward. After correcting the paper insertion to match the paper in your video, it worked nicely. Thanks for the video. I tried using the online manual for the PIXMA TS4700, but it was very confusing. I have the same Canon printer as the one shown in your video. Your video is straightforward and easy to follow, even though it is for a Windows PC. It's pretty much the same for the Mac, and I got it all working nicely after watching the first 5 minutes of your video. Once the printer was connected successfully to my WIFI, the MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) running macOS Catalina recognized it in Printers and Scanners (System Preferences), including the correct Canon printer model number, Canon fax model, and so forth. When that was done, I printed from Preview (macOS app). Very nice! Later I will focus on getting it to work with my iPhone 12 mini (controlling the printer, printing, and so forth). Excellent video! Thanks! P.S. I subscribed to your TH-cam channel and gave the video a "Thumbs Up!"
1:46 So my issue was getting the ink cartridges in there right, I didn’t hear the beeps in his video. But there should be a beep for each cartridge (and they should click in too) when you get them in there right. As far as setting up on the phone, you’ll still want to follow the WiFi pairing step for the printer, then press and hold the Menu “🔗” button on the printer for 3 seconds, THEN on your phone search for your printer, go through the WiFi setting in your app, the printer should come up (takes a couple of minutes). It’s important to know, not to push any buttons on the printer until it’s fully connected on your phone, you’ll know when it’s connected when you have a menu and a bunch of options populated on the app. Then push “Ok” on the printer when you see that it’s connected to your device.

I’m with you on that 💯
Well presented. He got right to the point without the usual soap operas.
I've just bought this same type of printer today.
Having no idea how to operate it. This video has raised me from complete scratch. 🎉🎉🎉😊❤
Omg finally I got my printer connected with your video! The angst and frustration of simply getting a new printer printing. Thank u sOoooo much!

Thank you I couldn't figure out how to save scan to computer. This worked great and easy to follow.
This was a great step by step video! Thank you soooo much! You made the process so easy and fast. I appreciate it! 🙏

Thank you for excellent instruction. The Canon setup routine and help is TERRIBLE and it took me over two hours , until I found your videos.

Great help!! Finally got my printer connected, but there was not a drop down to add scanner. Now what??
Best video (only one actually showing setup, how to install ink, etc.) ! I used the Canon app to connect to my android phone, so didn't watch the entire video. Thank you! No instructions with my printer, just the code to scan for the app! I'm 72 yo! I like written instructions! Lol!
Brilliant. After hours of trying to connect using the Canon app i connected this way in minutes. Thank you so much

I have a question. I just need this to make copies, do you need to go through all the steps setting up the computer if you only plan on using it for making copies and not printing anything from the computer?
Thank you for this video, I am one year in the future and needed help with adding to the network and you answered that for me. Have a great day.
