[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1636712, member: 175845"] So far our new Canon MG5620 AIO has been working well oner "wireless" only and it has never been connected by and wired connection and no re-connection needed, but I sure wish I could kill the seemingly unnecessary print cleaning it insists on doing before and sometimes even after a print job. Well I assume that's what it's doing with all the extra noises it makes and the *&%&*# ink levels are down to 3/4 full and we haven't even printed 20 pages!! But one thing that I really wonder about with so many "wireless" printers is the fact that they fail to mention that one needs to have an existing wi-fi network (router of base etc.) to connect to. How dumb is that when every Mac and iDevice already has wi-fi builtin!! Then there are all the various and different wireless names they use just to complicate things further. I'm a pretty Mac tech savvy knowledgable guy, and even though our Canon wireless AIO is working well with our Macs and iPads, I haven't got a clue as to what actual wireless software or name it's actually using. And that's just crazy!! But thanks to the WWW and the browser setup article I came across it is working well otherwise I'd probably still be working on it and cursing loudly getting it setup and working!! At least things [I][B]seem[/B][/I] to be better and easier than they were several years ago setting up AIO printers/scanners wirelessly, but that's no saying much. :\ [/QUOTE]
