Hi. I just bought an MP495. I went through and thought I'd ensured i'd set the wireless up properly, however my computer thinks the printer is offline unless the usb connects both machines can you help?

To print the LAN settings, press the Maintenance catch on the printer over and over unti you see a n on the LED, then press the Black or Color catch. When it prints out, let us know whether the association is Active or Inactive. On the off chance that it is Active, please let us comprehend what it appears for the IP Address and Default Gateway. If you want to get proper detailed information then 'you should call on 1-888-924-2961 toll free number anytime for canon printer support service. Technical Support For Canon Printer

put it online in your printer attributes, set it as default. Connect with a cable rather than wireless. Ensure printer drivers are installed in control panel/program control and check device is registered in device manager with no exclamation/question marks next to it's name

If you have a wireless router with a wireless network then -

Configure the IP address your wireless printer, (this is done through the printer's menu settings) make sure it matches the IP address range on your wireless network, it maybe 192.168.1.*** then configure the wireless printer with a fixed IP address with the same IP address range but at a higher address eg. 192.168.1.10 so it does not clash with any other IP addresses.
Next install the printer driver normally.
Then configure the printer Properties.
Click Start - Printers and faxes - right click on the your printer - click Properties - Port tab - click Add Port - Standard TCP/IP port -
Port Name eg. 192.168.1.10
Printer name eg Network printer
Click OK
Then do a TEST print if it does not work then the IP address is probably incorrect.

I hope this information will help you.

For Vista wireless setup: Open your Control Panel. Choose Printers. In the Printers box it lists your printers. Hover over the wireless printer icon, right click, choose Run as Administrator, then choose Use Printer online. This should change the status of the printer to Ready (from Offline). Be sure you've chosen this printer as your default printer. Might have to do this on a regular basis.
