Ooh. It's been a long time since I installed a printer...and I miss the days when you could just plug the damn thing in.
I am
trying to get a Canon Pixma TS705a to connect to wireless. The annoying thing is that the damn thing can
see the router, just not connect to it. I tried to input the password manually (far too fiddly a process IMO, it is
not straightforward). No go. I think I'll buy a USB cable and forget wireless, and if
that doesn't work - as I pessimistically expect it not to - the printer is going back to Amazon!
After decades in IT, I remain convinced that the one thing more guaranteed to cause problems than any other is printing. There is nothing,
NOTHING in IT more certain to give a user grief than printing. You'd think we'd have it down pat by now. But no.
I don't recall my late sister's Canon being this much trouble (although that did have a physical parallel port connection). I just downloaded and installed the software, and away we went.
Ah, great days...
