Time needed: 20 minutes

Installing the Canon Printer App on your iOS device and connecting it to your printer is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a seamless setup:

1. Prepare Your Devices

   Ensure your Canon printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device. Make sure your iOS device is connected to a Wi-Fi network as well.

2. Download the Canon PRINT App

   Open the App Store on your iOS device.
   In the search bar, type “Canon PRINT” and press Enter.
   Locate the official “Canon PRINT” app developed by Canon Inc. Tap on it to open the app page.
   Tap the “Download” button to begin the installation. Wait for the app to download and install.

3. Launch the Canon PRINT App

   Once the installation is complete, locate the Canon PRINT app on your home screen and tap to open it.

4. Set Up the App

   Upon launching the app, you’ll be asked to grant permissions for the app to access your device’s location and photos. These permissions are necessary for features like searching for printers and printing photos. Tap “Allow” to proceed.

5. Connect Your Printer

   On the app’s main screen, tap the “+” icon or “Add Printer” button to start the setup process.
   The app will search for available Canon printers on the same Wi-Fi network. When your printer’s model appears in the list, tap on it to select it.

6. Complete the Connection

   The app will guide you through the connection process. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your iOS device to the printer.
   You may be asked to enter the network’s password if you haven’t connected your printer to this network before.

7. Test and Print

   After successfully connecting the printer, you’ll see a confirmation message.
   Test the connection by printing a test page directly from the app. You can also print documents and photos from your device’s storage or cloud services.
