[@eddied1018]

Thank you, I was 30 seconds away from throwing this printer out the window... thanks to you it is safe on my desk...

[@Itjungles]

I am so glad you have found this video :). Another good printer Saved.

[@brandigovens8583]

🤣🤣🤣same way I was feeling I had my printer for 4 years and never set it up

[@JoseGonzalez-zc7sv]

u dont understand the struggle ive been going through... 6 years later and u just blessed me, thank you.

[@JayKay-ht8rg]

Lol!!

[@MaryELeary]

After multiple unsuccessful tries following the instructions that came with my printer, I found your tutorial. Within minutes, I was able to successfully setup my wireless printer. Thank you! You not only made my day, but restored my confidence in having at least some limited ability to function rather independently in rural America.

[@Itjungles]

Mary E. Leary Hi Mary, I am so glad this video is of help.

[@aeAjnabi]

Mary E. Leary Agreed.... I struggled on CANON site and this tutorial had me on in no time! Thanks!

[@MrCarpediem6]

but even though i set it up the printer icon is still 'grayed' out in my Device and Printers, and I cannot print, as when I do it says 'printer cannot be found'. When i plug in my USB though the grayed icon lights up again and I can print.. and everything that happened in your video successfully wen through on mine - saying connected etc. please help me and thanks? :(

[@buffarama]

Carpediem06 you have to change your printer setup in your computer from wired to wireless

[@BarrySachais]

Believe it or not, your tutorial is still helping people. When I got the MX530 a few years ago I followed the instructions. Like so many have expressed it was a nightmare. Finally, I got it connected to my network. Unexpectedly the printer connection was dropped. I was not looking forward to going through the setup once again. I came across your tutorial. The printer was connected in 2 minutes. It's mindboggling that Canon would not have this method printed on a "Quick Setup" guide. Thank you very, very much. You saved me from a few hours of heavy drinking. 😄

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

Do you know how I can align the paper so what I am printer comes out clearly? The black ink lettering is fuzzy. Thank you

[@shannon1446]

5 years or more after you posted this, your STILL helping people😀. Thank you !

[@blueleader8434]

This tutorial was quick, easy and painless! When I first got my printer, I read the instructions, but for some reason, it seemed to difficult and impossible to connect to the internet, so I gave up. A year later, I thought I'd give it a try again. This was the first video suggested on Google, and followed all the steps and got it all right the first time! Thanks for not taking forever to explain how this works. I like short, to the point results. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!

[@ktaylor4730]

I have been trying to set up this printer until 2:00 a.m. and gave up. Woke up early this morning to try again and after 1 hour of getting frustrated, I find YOUR video and set it up in 3 minutes!!!! You are a life saver. Thank you for your video tutorial.

[@biancalee7816]

I have been trying to connect my printer to my network for MONTHS...well it will be two years in February. Following your clear instructions - I have achieved what I thought to be the impossible. Thank you!

[@vinceb2063]

BRILLIANT!!! Following instructions that were on the disk that came with the printer = 1 hour (without any luck). Watching this video with no difficulty understanding = 30 seconds. Needless to say YOU ROCK!!!!!

[@rvvann1]

I had not used this printer very much. It is five years old with less than 500 prints. I changed its location in the house and had to reset it. I was about to go buy a new one because I could not get it up and going again. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks. I do need new ink. But, that is a lot less expensive than a new printer. Thank you! Covid 19 brought my work home. Having the printer up and going is a real blessing.

[@zohra8108]

Thank you so much! This was the best tutorial I came across, straight to the point and clearly explained and shown. It is still a relevant video after so many years. Please never take down this video!

[@jadeynd931]

I've tried endlessly for 4 hours to connect this manually and with instructions with no success. Once I found your video everything IMMEDIATELY WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@SutanaAwa]

Thank you very much 😭😭😭 I had my printer since 2016 I didn’t know how to connect to the WiFi ❤️🙏🏻 thank you again

[@RobertDepasquale]

The ABSOLUTE BEST set of instructions on how to connect Canon printer (Pixma 432) to wi-fi. A step by step guide - both verbally and visionally! Thank you.

[@meajur]

Beating my head trying to install a printer for two days. Watched this video and finally learned how to get the numbers I needed. Would have been easier if Canon had made a half sentence mention. But thankfully you did. Thank you. Thank you.

[@lifeslessons9889]

Kelly Harris Another extremely grateful viewer . Thank god for clever buggers eh ? Lol

[@vishthedon]

Believe me or not I bought this printer 7 years ago and I got no clue how do I go about. This video helped me a lot. Thanks mate. 🙏🏻

[@jaquiacampbell5333]

Thank you so much! I moved after having my printer set up for 5 years and had no clue what to do!

[@kjb1510]

Thank you so very much! After wasting 3 days, after we had moved and have new wifi network, with using the CD and the manual with no success , we had our printer going in minutes with your tutorial! Thank you again!

[@maryblack4447]

I've spent five hours trying to get my new printer to work wireless. At no point does the crappy Canon guide say that the NUMBER keypad is accessed via the star key, and my Billion router uses numbers not letters. Thanks a million for explaining this and for getting me going!

[@MrCheap-fy4hi]

Same! The whole time I was typing it in on the letter pad and had no idea it should have been changed to numbers

[@onelildee]

Mr.Cheap how many times do you push it to get to numbers

[@MrCheap-fy4hi]

@@onelildee Once or twice, it should change from ABC in top right corner to #

[@angelmahaffey4906]

You are my new HERO! I’ve been working with this for several hours now. No where in the directions did it tell me how to put numbers in for my password and you explained that in only seconds! Thank you so much!!!

[@c_farther5208]

I don't know what I would have done had you not explained how to type a number in for the passphrase. Tapping the asterisk twice worked. I already watched the Cannon video and it wasn't as helpful as your video. Thank you!

[@karenobeck6737]

Thank you thank you, I'm 82 and easily followed your instructions, regards from Canada

[@nancykuba5162]

Thank you so much. I haven't used my printer because I felt it was too confusing to do. You made it so simple.

[@Tinababy890]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been trying to reconnect my printer to our wireless network for hours. After watching your video it was done in less than 30 seconds. The online manuals were crap.

[@itzelrivera8493]

After struggling 3 day trying to connect my printer and going on cannon website for instructions i finally found this video and i was able to connect this printer in 2 minutes thanks a lot!!

[@rankasm7]

After updating Comcast equipment (that required a change of network name and password), the connection between my computer and printer got lost. When many phone calls and search through manuals on how to re-establish the connection failed to yield any results, (and I had to have the stuff printed to meet a deadline!), just as I was on the verge of getting desperate, I stumbled upon your video. May you be blessed for posting it! I mean this! My printer is a bit different from yours, but I got the gist of it and worked my way around the differences until I got it figured out. Wow! The sound of my printer chumming along was music to my ears! Thank you, thank you!

[@mpicewe3023]

Thank you so much for showing how to enter numbers for passphrase!! Had no clue it was * button to switch

[@katheblake9713]

I have used this video several times to get my Canon MX472 connected to wifi. It is the best!!! The instructions that came with the printer are terrible. Thank you so much for making this easy!

[@ksaw1572]

Thank you!!! I have had this printer for YEARS and could never figure it out...even following the User's Guide! :o)

[@carolynhill9863]

thank you so much. Canon instructions are rubbish. You are very calm (although quite fast!) but I pressed pause, took my time and I now have my printer reconnected with my new wifi hub.

[@SqueegyBecknheim]

This was significantly more helpful than the Canon Set-Up guide. Thank you so much!

[@cecehoward5150]

Thank you!! I'm not a tech-dummie but I gave up trying to set up a wireless connection using the Canon instructions. It took me 5 minutes following yours.

[@venusmoon676]

THANK YOU!!! OH MY GOSH I have had the hardest time trying to figure this out. I'm half tempted to get up and go do this now.. it's 2 am.

[@rabolah]

it took me less than 2 mins to connect my canon printer setup to a Wi-Fi network after watching that video.Helpful

[@LuvinOurLife]

You just saved me the biggest headache thank you thank you!!

[@susangrantham5252]

This was very helpful. The directions and lack of directions that came with the printer made it very hard to understand how to set it up. Thank you!

[@alicecossette6113]

This was fantastic. I spent hours trying to figure it out, this video solved my problem in minutes! :)

[@tchi38]

It was driving me crazy trying to figure out how to change from numbers to letters. Thanks so much for posting. Your a blessing.

[@aubreeparent]

Thank you so much! Far more helpful than the Canon website!

[@timothypeterson6238]

Stunning style to get a easy job done 1 2 3. You made this process clear, easy, and correct. The instruction that came with my printer had me in tears. Canons 4 set up ( how too's) are worthless as are all the other videos I viewed on this subject. Why did I have to come by this video only after hours of futale head numbing, confusing, others is beond me. 1.25Mil viewers are better people because of you. BRAVO.

[@savedasrob]

My printer won’t move on the next step which is the password, it just tries to connect. Any suggestions for that?

[@flatcat47]

Absolutely clear! Too many such tutorials show a screenshot of a complicated ap, with the narrator zooming a mouse around, saying go here, go there, click this, and there you go. Totally impossible to follow. This is visible, thorough, and at a pace I an absorb. Thank you.

[@gersoncjunior]

Thank you this video helped me a lot.

[@joellinaramon-jaramillo6846]

its been 10 years since you posted this and its been a MIRACLE!!!! who knew printer could annoy the crap out of you😂

[@moniquedarquea2147]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. Especially since my printer didn't come with any instructions for WiFi use. The ***Astrid*** for switching from numbers to letters was very cool! I never would have figured that out on my own. 🤔😁😁😁

ITJungles we have a canon mx472 was working fine wireless everything was good and all of a sudden it stopped working today we turned it on and can't print from our phones we don't have a computer or the usb cable we've been at it since this morning trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with it. I've tried everything and nothing seems to work can you please help us out please!!!

[@chrissyfabulishes7772]

This was the easiest way to do it. Couldn't get it connected with canon instructions. Thank you.

[@richardalvardo164]

If you're not sure about any of these settings, you can call Canon support 1845-276-9007 ( US & Canada ). That’s the easiest and most general way to get help for your Canon printer.

[@sharongrace7070]

I am glad you got it to work. Have a great day. 👍

[@HavenBurrell]

i watch this video and got the printer to connect to the wifi but i still have to plug in the usb to my laptop and the printer to print how do i get my printer to print over the wifi without the usb cored

[@Itjungles]

You have to configure on the pc.

[@HavenBurrell]

how do i do that

[@artisanshrew]

It is likely - unlik your computer or iphone/phone, your laptop is not connected to your wifi - right? In our home we use two signals called 2g and 5g since one is faster... My laptop wasn't working because the printer was connected to our regular use 2g while the laptop was set up for gaming and logged into our 5g signsl. I'm no "techie" but once you log in to your wifi on yoyr laptop, you should have no problems (unless you have an old printer setup as the default printer... You might have better luck using whatever Helpcenter/Wizard available to troubleshoot and connect you to your newer printer.) Best of Luck & Happy New Year!!! 😉👍

[@abaaaaaaaaaaan9]

+ITJungles How to configure it?

[@HavenBurrell]

Megan Torrie my laptop is connected to the wifi and i dont even though if we have 2g and 5g

[@littlaussie]

omg thank you so much, i had to change my wifi network and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to change the printer to the new network, you video was very helpful. Thank you again for such clear instructions, with your video i set up my printer to my new network, no problems.

[@lelisabalderama5916]

[@Lily-se2op]

My WiFi password is combined letters with numbers. Your show detailed how to switch from number to letter by changing “1” to “2” in Passphase which helped me to complete set up. You answered my question instead of Canton customer service when I called Canton and asked how to change to letter, I was told Canton MX432 was too old to have their phone service. So I found your show and I thank you so much!

[@timlawler479]

Ok Dude, you are officially my HOD (Hero of the Day). Side note, printer can also go the WPS setup route, no password bs. Navigate to that in the printer, tells you to hit WPS button on your router, go back to printer and hit [OK], automatically connects (no password)... HOOAHH!

[@ingeborgcaro]

Thank you for your help! You saved me from demolishing my printer and having a nervous breakdown!

[@tonybayarea]

Thanks for the help. Glad that your changing your wifi password, over 2 million people watched this video and know the password now. 🙂

[@913babygirl]

OMG THANK YOU!!!! My internet provider came and changed oh excuse me (upgraded) my modem and router. I got all of our devices connected and we were doing well until I had to print some information for work and could not. I called my internet provider and they were like "everything on our end is o.k. so you need to contact the company who your printer is with". I was glad that my printer had a USB cable and I was able to print what I needed for work. I total forgot I had to change my lan settings in my printer. You are a genius.

[@dylbobstudios2153]

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, I had a project due in the next hour and without your video I would have never been able to print it, take pictures and submitted it like I did. THANK YOU!!!!!! Subscribed!

[@coquihalla1]

Dude! You've saved my ass resetting this Canon printer about seven times. Everytime the power goes out it bumps the Wi-Fi connection and I have to reset it...but I forget how. A tremendous thanks to you and the patience you have in explaining in simple language how to connect wirelessly. There are people who know and understand. Then there's you who knows how to instruct and teach getting across effortlessly what they know and understand. Good on you! Keep up the good work.

[@cannkariores4125]

OMG! You solved my problem I have been trying to deal with ever since my internet service provider forced me to share a different connection. 1,000,000,000 thank yous for making this video. I have the Canon MX430 without CD or cable. Now, I can continue with my graduate studies .... sigh!

[@kittyinasock]

Thank you for this. I recently had to purchase a new Apple Airport and set up a new network. I had lost the instructions for my MX432 and Canon's site was convoluted enough that I couldn't locate a PDF of the instructions to connect the printer to the new network so I was putting it off until I actually needed something printed. A Google search led me here and your instructions worked perfectly. Had things going again faster than it took me to navigate Canon's site.

[@dominiqueharper4602]
