Iam trying to install a PIXMA TS 3122 that has never been used. New in the box. I have used the internet ij.start.canon procedure. The process goes well until I get to step 3 . At this point a message comes up saying the printer is detected. Please wait until the installation is complete. This may take some time. I have waited as long as 12 hours and the message never goes away. I have done this several times. I have the latest drivers etc loaded into the computer.

We would be happy to assist with the issue. To provide some feedback or some troubleshooting steps, we would need some additional information. If you could reply to this message with the version of the Mac or Windows operating system are you using on your computer, we can provide some assistance.


Thank you for replying. Our computer has a windows operating system. It was Windows 10. While setting up the computer, Windows gave us the opportunity to get Windows 11 free. We checked the box. However; I am not sure it downloaded. The computer did not act any different. If I need to do something, let me know what needs to be done.


Some more background on the printer. I purchased it from Walmart about two years ago. It has never been installed until now. Our original HP computer failed in November. It was going to be a costly repair so we bought a new one. The printer on the failed computer was a Canon PIXMA MX 490. It was working fine. We tried to install it on the new computer and we ran into the same problem were are having now. Since the MX 490 was several years old, I decided to get the new printer out and see if it would work better. Essentially I ran into the same problem. Hope this helps.


The uninstalling of the printer and drivers went great. I then rebooted the computer by unhooking the power. Started the computer, went to the windows page and typed in the long address. I carefully checked the address and tried two times to enter it. Both times a message came as follows: We're sorry, the page you're looking for cannot be found.


Went to site you suggested, There were four programs. I downloaded the fourth and the first one. Came up was complete and exited. At this point I had a blank screen (all white). Then went to the ij.start and went through the process. Every thing seemed to move along. after print alignment, printing, etc got a Test Print and the screen said "The printer is now ready for printing". Then a whole bunch files were copied until it said complete. At this point I tried to print from the computer and nothing happened. It would not print. I tried several times.


Today I went through the procedure you sent me on the 24th. Everything went just as you said until I got to "Connect USB and turn power on.." I did as instructed, and the screen goes back to the background. I waited 30 minutes and nothing more happened so I wrote you.


While on the control panel page before uninstalling the drivers, I checked the print que and there was nothing there. So the 5 pages I tried to print yesterday apparently never got into the printer system.


Once logged in you should be able to navigate to advanced settings, add a SSID on 2.4 GHz only and provide it an SSID say 24PRINT and provide the authentication type WPA/WPA2 and then provide the password or passphrase, how ever you want to say it, and save that. Once you have the SSID on 2.4 GHZ only for the printer it should be able to connect.


The problem with the older wireless network adapters is that they are often more limited in the radio channels and will not play on 5 GHz channels. Since the current SSID is also associated with the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ radios this can cause problems for the older network adapter drivers. If the band steering of the newer 802.11 ax radios directs the connection to a 5 GHz radio then the device drops off from the wireless. The is why I suggest the additional SSID ONLY on the 2.4 GHz radio. The password could be the same as the existing one or you can make it different.


-ts3122 If you need more look at the manual for your specific operating system. There is no WPS support on the gateway so you have to do a manual connection to the WIFI with the printer. Have to get into the menu to network probably.
