Do you want to print from multiple devices without using wires? Do you want to enjoy the convenience and flexibility of wireless printing? If you have a Canon Pixma TS9150 printer, you can easily connect it to your Wi-Fi network and print from your computer, laptop, or mobile device. In this blog, we will show you how to set up your Canon Pixma TS9150 printer for wireless printing using the Wireless Auto Connection (WAC) feature. This feature allows you to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network automatically without entering any network settings. All you need is your printer, a USB cable, and access to your Wi-Fi network. Let’s get started.
Step 1: Prepare Your Printer
The first step to connect your Canon Pixma TS9150 printer to Wi-Fi is to prepare your printer. You need to unbox your printer, install the ink cartridges, and install the printer driver software on your computer.
- Unbox your printer and remove any protective materials from the inside and outside of the printer.
- Open the front panel of the printer and insert the provided ink cartridges into their slots. Make sure they click into place and close the front panel.
- Install the printer driver software on your computer by inserting the CD-ROM that came with your printer or downloading it from Canon’s website. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Step 2: Connect Your Printer to Your Computer
The next step is to connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable. This will allow your printer to communicate with your computer and access your Wi-Fi network settings.
- Locate the USB port and the wireless icon on the front panel of the printer. The USB port is on the left side of the printer and the wireless icon is on the right side.
- Connect one end of the USB cable to your printer and the other end to your computer. Once connected, the wireless icon on your printer will start blinking.
- Launch the printer driver software on your computer and select ‘Wireless Auto Connection’ from the main menu. This will tell the printer driver software to search for available Wi-Fi networks near your printer.
Step 3: Connect Your Printer to Your Wi-Fi Network
The third step is to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network using the Wireless Auto Connection feature. This feature will automatically detect and connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network without requiring you to enter any network settings.
- When you see a list of available Wi-Fi networks on your computer screen, select the one that matches your home network. You may need to enter your network password if prompted.
- Wait for a few seconds while your printer connects to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the wireless icon on your printer will stop blinking and stay lit.
- The printer driver software will verify that your printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network and display a confirmation message on your computer screen.
Step 4: Configure Your Printer Settings
The fourth step is to configure your printer settings for your operating system. This will allow you to print from any device that is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.
- Go to Printer Settings on the printer driver software and select your operating system, such as Windows, Mac, or Linux.
- Enter the IP address of your printer, which you can find on the confirmation message or by printing a network information page from your printer.
- Confirm that your printer settings are correct and click OK.
Step 5: Connect Your Mobile Devices
The final step is to connect your mobile devices to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer. This will allow you to print from your smartphone or tablet using the Canon Print app or other compatible apps.
- On your mobile device, go to Settings and turn on Wi-Fi.
- Select the same Wi-Fi network that you connected your printer to and enter the password if needed.
- Download and install the Canon Print app or other compatible apps from Google Play or App Store.
- Launch the app and follow the instructions to add your printer and print from it.
