I don't know if you're getting good advice here.... If you have a printer with wifi, the printer should be able to connect directly to your router wirelessly. Meaning, if you have a router with wireless, much like a laptop, you should be able to pull an IP address from the router by inputting the SSID or what have you..
After that - the device will just be an IP on your local network, and you should be able to (from any machine) add a printer, and when it asks for the port, specify that address. That's the way it should work. On Dec 27 2011, 12:29 pm, Scott Vargovich <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there! > > I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas. I just got a Canon PIXMA MX360 > printer.
