Set up the Canon MG3100 on Wi-Fi Solved

Question

Hello,

I bought the Canon MG3100.
I installed it on the two laptops with Win7 at home (connected via Wi-Fi to the router), then I tried to install it wirelessly, but I couldn't get it to work...
I attempted to follow the instructions (connecting the printer via USB to the router, adding a printer), but nothing works...

I consulted this post: https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-26152446-pas-de-proposition-d-installation-en-wifi#5
That didn't help me because the guy says "I found the solution, thanks!" but doesn't share it with everyone...

Thank you.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 18.0

Hello,

In my opinion, the printer should be set up on Wi-Fi BEFORE installing it on the computers.
Because often, but I don't have experience with an MP3100, once the printer has been connected via USB, it becomes impossible to connect it via Wi-Fi.

So, uninstall the printer from the PCs and start the printer installation from scratch according to the user manual provided.

Alright, I'm trying to uninstall it and reinstall without plugging in the USB... I'll keep you updated!  -- BG

Do I need to install it by selecting "Add a local printer" or "Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer"?
(Actually, I tried both and I don't think it's working...)

But I didn't quite understand: am I not required to go through my Livebox to be able to print wirelessly? Is there a direct link between PC/printer?

Well, I installed it via wifi on one of the two computers by simply putting in the installation CD that was provided! XD
However, on my second PC, I don't have an optical drive, so... for now, I don't have a solution.
So the printer is connected via wifi to the first computer but is not on the livebox network...

Well, it's all good, it's resolved.
After installing with the installation CD on the first PC
For the second PC (without an optical drive), I plugged in the USB cable, the drivers installed automatically, then I went to the Control Panel, in Printers, I clicked on "Add a printer" "Wireless," I found my printer, and it installed.
There you gooooo^^
Have a good Sunday!
