[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1282769, member: 131855"] I can't seem to get the manual downloaded at the moment. Here is what I can tell you from my experience with two other Canon printers. 1. Even though Canon's manuals leave the impression that you can set up everything wirelessly. I usually find it necessary to directly connect to the printer first and install drivers via USB. Once that is done you van set up wireless operation. 2. Before starting wireless setup I have sometimes found it easier if I let the wireless network broadcast its name (SSID). Even though you can enter it manually during setup that sometimes does not work reliably. 3. After the connections are confirmed wirelessly the drivers usually add easily in the Printers and Fax preference pane. 4. After setup is complete I usually leave the USB drivers in place in case I need to print and the network is misbehaving. I can connect a cable and print directly. [/QUOTE]
