Wireless printing on Canon MP560 OSX 10.4.11 HELP!

Hi chibilyn, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

What IP did you give it?

What is your Airport's IP?

Is my IP safe to put here?

Your local IP should be OK, but it should be 192.168.1.x right?

Did you try setting it up as an IP Printer?

Sorry... no idea why simple printing has turned into Rocket Science on Macs!

Might try Printer Setup Repair 5.1...

To add the networked printer, you need to select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. If the 560 is correctly configured it should appear in this new view. And when you select it the Print Using will automatically be set to Canon MP560 series.

If the printer is not visible after selecting More Printer > Canon IJ Network, then either something is blocking this multicast or the 560 network settings are not set correctly. You can confirm the settings via the control panel of the printer. Device Settings > LAN Settings > Wireless LAN Settings List.

Great to heat, thanks for the report! 🙂

Is there any reason to think that WPA2 security would prevent my printer from being hooked up wirelessly? Only because that I think is my only option left to try and disable the security and see if that works. I can't seem to get this printer to print wirelessly. The printer itself says it's connected, but I can't ping it, nor does it show up in my Attached Devices list on my router.

What is the security on your wireless network? WPA2 Personal? Because I think that's why mine isn't working - I think that if I knock off the security on my router it'll work just fine.

I'd appreciate any help/info, thanks!!

Hi there, quite likely if your Printer can't do WPA2.

Before it can get an IP from the Router, it has to be able to sign in with WPA2.
