What a great tutorial! Only have had to reset my printer 8 times because the IP address keeps changing and my Mac can't find the printer anymore! Oh - and thanks for making the manual so easy to read! Terms like WPS, DNS, IPv6, etc. are super simple to the average person! Great job, Canon, you've outdone yourselves once again!!

[@beshir0211]

This was exactly what I needed. My setup was quick and easy. Thanks so much!

macOS trouble shooting: 1. When the wifi installation software exits unexpectedly, disconnect the cable and go through the wifi software again (without the printer connected) until you reach the screen where it would "searching for wireless access point" at 3:48. Here you connect the printer via usb and hit "refresh" to now start searching for it. 2. If the printer doesn't appear in the list of printers after you finished the wifi installation setup, restart your machine, connect the cable, go through the software once more and in the end DO NOT disconnect the cable. Just finish the wifi installation software (while the printer is still plugged in) and go into your macOS printer settings. Here you might see 2 printers. Select the one that says "bonjour" and add that one. Your done :)

[@justmad_dan]

Prefect, steps 1:1 as described. FYI: Selected LBP6230dw for F166500 model and it works fine. If you don't see your wifi make sure it's 2.4Hz b/c 5.0Hz is not supported

Mac user here, OS Sonoma. About a couple of months ago (long after the Sonoma update, so not likely directly connected) my printer started falling off the WiFi network. I used to be able to "wake it up" by pulling up the printer tab. I'm technically-savvy and tried the wireless, wired, and Ethernet (cable to router) setups, with powercycling both the printer and the router, only to have it connect for a brief 5 minutes and then begin flashing blue again. I'm not sure if it's the printer modem frying up after years of use or something else, but I will likely be buying another printer.

[@georgeallenjr9394]

I would never have purchased this model if I had known It was gonna be such a pain to set up. Why is everything else so easy to set up compared to this? I want to smash it with a big rock, just on principle.

Hi, Karla! We recommend running this by our imageCLASS support team so that they can take a closer look into this for you. They're available Monday through Friday at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). We look forward to your call!

[@zo3j]

There is no network setup tool on my mac after the installation. There is only a Documentation folder containing a useless installation html page. I can see the printer wirelessly only on the Macbook that has the driver installed, but other devices such as iPhone or another Mac can't see it on the network. Without this setup tool, I can't seem to be able to access the printer from other devices.

[@CanonUSA]

Hi! Each computer that needs to talk to your printer should have the driver installed, and each mobile device should have the free Canon PRINT Business app installed on it. Devices without the driver or app might not know what to do with the printer or they might not even be aware that it's there. If you need additional help, our imageCLASS support team is only a phone call away. They're available Monday through Friday at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Hope this helps!

[@zo3j]

@@CanonUSA The computer drivers/Canon PRINT Business app allows computers/mobile devices to detect and access the printer only if it is on the network. However, the Network Setup Tool app is needed to setup printer's access to local network, so it can appear as a new network device. Otherwise the WiFi feature is unavailable. You guys need to make that app available for download. Get someone who is more technical to read my comment, so we can fix the issue of missing Network Setup Tool in the download site. Nowadays, most new computers don't come with a CDROM, so having the app on a CD is not helpful.

at 4:20 when it asks for the Administrator's name and password, what am I exactly suppose to put?

[@CanonUSA]

Hi, Carlton! Some computers will require authorization from the administrator to make changes, such as installing software or modifying the network connection. If you're the administrator for your computer, enter your user name and password as prompted to proceed. If you're not the administrator, you'll need to reach out to the person who is. If you're unsure about whether you have administrator rights, then we recommend contacting Apple for help with your Mac or your IT department if you have one. Hope this helps!

[@sciencemansandera]

Canon is the absolute worst printer I have ever seen to install I would rather have a wired printer that you put in the CD and everything is finished I have never seen such a piece of junk the Wi-Fi constantly drops its connection if you even get it to work; it's almost impossible to install I have like a $380 imageclass printer and it has been junk from day one

[@CanonUSA]

Hi! If you would prefer not to use Wi-Fi, you can connect your imageCLASS printer directly to your computer via a standard A-to-B USB cable. You might already own such a cable, and if you don't, you can find one wherever electronics are sold. If you need additional help, our imageCLASS support team will be happy to provide it. You can call them Monday through Friday at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Hope this helps!
