With the device switched on navigate to the `set up` menu then select `Wireless LAN set up`. Then choose your wireless access point or wireless router from the list, enter your password then press `end set up`. One the flashing blue wireless light goes solid blue, you`re connected.
Check the Wi-Fi signal (a blue light) on the printer, ensuring it flashes quickly with the Online lit. Launch the Canon print app. Tap on add printer on the main screen. Press register printer > printer setup.
Press the OK button and select Copy settings. Select Others. Select 1-sided. Select 2-sided.
Simply plug the USB cable from your printer into an available USB port on your PC, and turn the printer on. On the taskbar, select the Search icon, type Printers in the search bar, and then select Printers & scanners from the search results to open the Printers & scanners system setting.
Your printer should have been packaged with a USB cable regardless of whether it is a wireless or wired printer. Plug the cable into your printer and your computer`s USB port. The direct linking should trigger your computer to recognize the printer and start up the software needed to complete the installation.
A double-engine duplexer means that both sides of the media are printed simultaneously. With this method, a conductor belt generates a picture of both sides of the print job using the data retrieved from your PC.
The printer`s laser projects your print onto a drum. A drum then uses static electricity to attract the dry toner to the drum`s cylinder. The drum then rolls the toner onto the paper to create your print. The toner powder is melted and pressed onto the paper with heat from the fuser as it goes through a set of rollers.
Step 1: Turn off the printer and leave it off for more than a minute or so. Step 2: Then turn the printer on and connect to a network or computer. Step 3: Right now, try to print the document to check if the “Another computer is using the printer” error still persists.
You can print anywhere in the house by connecting the printer over Wi-Fi. You can also use the same printer on multiple computers or smartphones, or print photos through integration with cloud services.
Change your USB Cable or the USB Port

Alternatively, you can also use a USB cable recommended by Canon. If it`s not the cable, then check your USB port. If your camera doesn`t connect to your PC, then try plugging it again into a different USB terminal. Most PCs and laptops feature multiple USB ports.

Canon Pixma MP610 won't print in black
ANSWER : Printer cleanings use wet ink to clear dried up ink. Yeah, that works real well. The best way to clean the heads is remove all the ink tanks. Next to the tanks on the right, there is a plastic release lever. Pull up on it and it will release the heads. Reach in and pull them out. Take the heads over to the sink and run hot tap water into the screen for the black and then turn it over and run it over the heads on the bottom. Repeat a few times and reinstall.

ANSWER : Yeah I’m having the same problem with my Canon MX882. I’ve refilled the pigment tank, cleaned the print head and I still get no pigment black at all. I think it has something to do with the purge unit, but I don’t see any instructions on how to clean it. If I can figure it out, I’ll let you know.
