Complete Guide to Printer Setup: Step-by-Step Instructions
Setting up a printer for the first time (or reconnecting it after a reset) can feel overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the process. Whether you own a Inkjet, PIXMA, or Laser printer, the setup steps are simple once you know the right sequence.
Step 1: Unbox and Prepare Your Printer
Before you begin the installation process:
Unbox the printer carefully and remove all packaging material.
Install the ink cartridges provided with the printer.
Load plain A4 sheets into the paper tray.
Connect the power cord and turn on the printer.
This ensures your device is ready for wired or wireless setup.
Step 2: Download Printer Drivers & Software
For smooth functioning, you need the correct printer driver:
Visit the official support website: https://ijcan0n.online
Enter your printer model (e.g., PIXMA G3020, TS3120).
Download the driver compatible with your operating system (Windows or Mac).
Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts.
Step 3: Connect Your Printer (Wired or Wireless)
USB Connection
Plug the USB cable from the printer into your computer.
The setup wizard will detect your printer.
Complete the installation by following the prompts.
Wi-Fi Wireless Connection
On your printer, press the Wi-Fi button until the blue light blinks.

Open software and select Wireless Setup.
Follow the instructions to finish the connection.
Step 4: Add Printer to Your Computer

Mac: System Preferences → Printers & Scanners → Add Printer.
Select your printer and you’re ready to print.
Step 5: Test the Printer
