Connecting to Canon iP8720

I've tried everything and the only way the printer can communicate with my Mac is via USB. My router is fine, my Mac is connected to the internet as well. Is it just the printer or is it something I can adjust through the MAC?

iMac 24″, macOS 13.4

A quick search finds this info online:

PIXMA iP8720 Wireless Inkjet Photo Printer Features & Specs - Canon


Specifically, re: wi-fi connectivity:

"Wireless printing requires a working network with wireless 802.11b/g or n capability."

Is your network that?


I also see references to compatibility with very old Mac OS X software (Safari 4.0 - 5.0 for Mac OS X v10.5.8 - 10.6.x) for the "Easy-WebPrint EX" software.


Also, listed in OS Compatibility is this "Mac OS® X v10.6.8 - v10.9".


I don't know when this printer was released, but it seems to me to possibly be a little older and maybe built on 32-bit software.


Did you only recently move this printer from another system you had?
