This will add the network printer to the Mac. The 'Use' menu should then show 'Canon MX860 series'.

#Canon mx890 printer is offline when its not series#

In the list, the 'Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)' should be visible. This will make the Add printer window appear. Now the window will take several seconds to setup the printer and should show a Setup Completion window. When a window appears stating that the Canon IJ Network Tool wants to use your password, click Allow. A new window will then appear asking you to confirm the connection to the access point and the text will show which access point was found - which should show 'Ronald Wikoff's Network'. The next window will show the utility searching for wireless access points.

Click OKįrom the next window, the MX860 should be shown and as connected to the Mac via USB. Ensure the setting 'Use the printer on the network' is set. With the IJ Network Tool open, the first window talks about adding the printer to the network.

If you are looking in the other path you mention above, this could be an older version so download and install this latest version of the IJ Network Tool. So with the Mac connected to the MX860 via USB cable, open Canon IJ Network Tool (which should be located in Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Tool). No facility to add the MX860 to an Apple wireless network using the control panel so you will need to use the Canon IJ Network Tool. Don't know why Canon has to make this so difficult.

I am an old man of 73 and way over my head with this mess. Can someone please help me with this mess? I am so frustrated with dealing with this for three days and the only way I can print is using the RSB cable which is not so cool strung across my bedfrom the computer to the printer. When it does click Add to complete the network print queue creation and repeat the steps to add the network scanner if you need it. Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically select the Canon MX860 series printer driver. Several seconds after the scanner appears the printer should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED AND I LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. Click the + and wait for the MX860 to appear as a printer - it will appear first as a scanner and you can either add that now or after adding the printer. HAD TO RECABLE THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK TO GET PRINTER BACK. THEN I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW AND THEN TRIED HITTINH + BUT NOTHING EVER APPEARED. I DID TWO THINGS, FIRST LEAVING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW, I TRIED ADDING USING + BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. So with all the old queues to the MX860 removed you can then add the new network printer. You may also need to delete the networked scanner queue if you had one. And for the old networked print queue, you need to delete this also. ONLY THING I HAD WAS THE PRINTER LISTED IN THE WINDOW SHOWING IT WAS OFFLINE. I NEVER SAW ANY PRINT QUEUES AFTER TURNING THE PRINTER BACK ON. For the USB print queue you just created, you can delete this. Now turn the printer back on and open Print & Fax again. Save the changes, turn off the power to the MX860 and then disconnect the USB cable.

Select this and you can then enter the new network settings, such as the SSID, type of security being used and the password for the network. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and within this utility you will see the Network Settings button. I DID NOT HAVE THAT TAB I FOLLOWEED HIS LEAD USING THE FOILLOWING: MAC HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/UtilitiesWith this selected then click Open Printer Utility. If you then open Print & Fax, select this USB MX860 print queue and then press Options & Supplies, you will see the Utility tab. If it doesn't have the ability to change the settings via the keypad then you will have to connect the printer via USB to your Mac, which will create a USB connected print queue. If it does then you can change the network settings and create a new print queue on the Mac. I am not sure if your MX860 has this setting, called Easy Setup under Device Settings > Network. Pahu comments follow (min results in bold): Some of the new models of Canon inkjet let you set the network settings using the touch panel on the printer. I am inserting here his discussion and in bold my comments where my results differed. I don't know how much difference it makes but when I followed his instructions, I did not get my problems resolved. I note Pahu discussion in another group on this same issue but it pertains to Snow Leopard.

I recently installed a new and bigger Time Capsule on my MacBook Pro system and since doing so, I lost the ability to print wirelessly on my Canon MX860 printer.
