Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to set up my printer on my own. I'm being told:
W.F.P. key length: Inactive
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
What should I do?
Thank you.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 50.0

      Canon PIXMA MX 532 printer.
      I'm trying to get it to work wirelessly. The printer is "detected" by both the network and the computer.
      I really don't know much about this. Someone told me that the: W.E.P. key length: Inactive
      meant that something was wrong. subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (if that means anything to you...)

      subnet mask (masque de sous-réseau) depends on the network it is connected to, usually locally it is indeed 255.255.255.0, there is nothing abnormal here.
      Did you properly install the printer driver on the computer?

        Yes, I installed the driver. While searching, I understood that the ''wireless'' LAN DRX
        should be inactive (disabled), whereas it is active (enabled). The same goes for the IPV6. (according to the sheet I managed to print for the printer configuration)
        In fact, I'm writing all this in ''parrot'' because I don't really know what all this
        entails. I believe I have identified the problem, but I can't fix it.
        Does all this gibberish help you help me??
        Thank you for your time and assistance.

      If the installer detects the printer, you should normally be able to print?
      Yes, you can (apparently you need to disable IPv6 and DRX on the printer)
