If you don’t have the original install disk or don’t have a DVD drive, then try to get drivers from the Canon official site. Once complete, you will be done, and you wouldn’t need to read the rest of the post.
The proper installer will configure and set up the printer in an easy to follow way. If you have the original CD/DVD with printer drivers and a DVD drive, then definitely run the installer first. Download drivers from Canon official site Usually, home routers have IP 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.1 and can be reached via browser, such as Safari. Some routers also provide lists of connected devices. Anyway, I figured that the IP address of my Canon was 192.168.0.18.Īnother method is to use the WiFi router. Sometimes the Lanscan shows the names of the manufacturer and sometimes does not. It is, by the way, a very useful tool if you want to know which devices are using your WiFi (or if you are afraid that someone is stealing it). One of its functions is to scan all devices connected to your WiFi network. And like I said since I was on the second floor and the printer was in the Basement, I used this method.
The second method requires some software to install.
