There is no WPS button on the Time Capsule.


You might be able to get the printer to connect using the following method:


Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility


Click the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit


Click the Base Station menu at the very top of the computer screen. Do not click the Base Station tab in the center of the screen.

The Time Capsule will search for you printer. If it finds it, click Done

If this method does not work for your pinter, you will need to follow the manufacturer's instructions for manually connecting the printer to the wireless network.

Thank you for helping me, but it don´t help. I have done exactly as you so describe, and everything goes as you describe and I click DONE. But when I try to print out I get yhe message that the printer is not connected... 😟


Is there any WPS-button on the MacBook Pro 15" Retina? If I could try an other way...


But thanks again for your trying to help me! You show me an way I did not know before you explain it.

Sorry, there are no WPS buttons on any Apple devices that I have ever seen. The method that I described worked fine for my neighbor, but he has an HP all-in-one device.


I assume that you have powered off the complete network and then powered things back up in sequence starting with the modem first. If that does not help, I would suggest that you check with Canon support to ask them how best to proceed.
