# 1 — Before you start (prerequisites & checks)

Make sure you have the following ready:

* **Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** and **Wi-Fi password** (case sensitive).
* Your **Canon PIXMA TR4722** plugged in and powered on.
* A device already connected to your Wi-Fi (phone or computer) to verify settings.
* If using **WPS**, ensure your router supports WPS and you have physical access to its button.
* For computer setup: a USB cable (temporary connection) **or** download the latest drivers from Canon’s website if you prefer to set up completely wirelessly.
* Optional but helpful: write down your router’s admin password in case you need to check settings.

**Tip:** If your network has both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the TR4722 typically works best on **2.4 GHz**. If you’re having trouble, try connecting the printer to the 2.4 GHz SSID.

# 2 — Method A: Wireless setup from the printer control panel (manual SSID/password entry)

This is the most common method if you’re standing at the printer.

1. **Power on the printer.** Wait for it to finish initialization and display the home screen.
2. **Access the Setup menu.** On many Canon PIXMA models, press the **Setup (gear icon)** button. If your model has a **Wi-Fi** or **Network** button directly, press that.
3. **Navigate to Wireless LAN setup.**

* Use the arrow keys to find **“Wireless LAN setup”** or **“LAN settings”** and press **OK**.
4. **Select the setup method.**

* Choose **“Standard setup”** (or “Manual connect”) — this will scan for nearby networks.
5. **Choose your SSID (network name).**

* The printer will display a list of available networks. Use the arrow keys to select your Wi-Fi SSID and press **OK**.
6. **Enter the Wi-Fi password (network key).**

* Use the on-screen keyboard to type the Wi-Fi password. Be mindful of uppercase/lowercase letters; press the “Shift” or similar key for capital letters. When finished, choose **OK** or **Confirm**.
7. **Confirm connection.**

* The printer will attempt to connect. If successful, you’ll see a message such as **“Connected”** and a blue Wi-Fi icon. The printer may print a network settings page automatically (or you can print one from the Setup menu to confirm IP address).
8. **Install drivers on your devices.**

* After the printer is on the network, install Canon drivers/software on your computer(s) or the Canon PRINT app on mobile devices (see Method C and D).

If the printer cannot find your network when scanning, use the **manual SSID entry** option (if available) and enter the SSID exactly, then the password.

# 3 — Method B: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) — fast push-button connection

**Use WPS if your router has a physical WPS button.** This avoids typing the Wi-Fi password.

1. **On the printer**, access **Setup → Wireless LAN setup**.
2. **Select WPS (Push button method).**

* The printer will show instructions like “Press the WPS button on the router within 2 minutes.”
3. **Press the WPS button on your router.**

* Within 2 minutes, press the router’s **WPS** button. On many routers the light will blink to indicate WPS is active.
4. **Wait for the printer to connect.**

* The printer will automatically find the router and establish a connection. When complete, you’ll see a confirmation on the printer screen.
5. **Verify connection.**

* Look for the Wi-Fi icon on the printer, or print a network config sheet.

**Important:** Not all routers support WPS (and many ISPs disable it for security). If WPS is unavailable, use the control-panel method.

# 4 — Method C: Set up from a Windows PC or Mac (recommended to install full drivers)

This route installs Canon drivers and optionally sets the printer up wirelessly during driver installation.

## A — Prepare

* Turn on the printer and ensure it’s near the PC and the router.
* If prompted, temporarily connect the printer to your computer via USB to let the installer detect it and configure wireless. Many installers can also do wireless setup without USB.

## B — Download Canon software

1. On your PC/Mac, open a browser and go to the official Canon support site (search “Canon PIXMA TR4722 drivers”).
2. Download the **full driver & software package** for your operating system (Windows 10/11 or macOS).
3. Run the downloaded installer.

## C — Run the installer and choose connection type

1. The installer will usually present options such as **USB**, **Wireless LAN**, or **Wireless Direct**. Choose **Wireless**.
2. The installer may ask you to temporarily connect via USB if the printer is not discoverable wirelessly. If so:

* Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer.
* The installer will detect the printer and prompt to configure the wireless settings — enter your SSID and password when asked.
* After configuration, the installer will remove the temporary USB setting and make the printer available wirelessly.
3. If the installer finds the printer over the network, just select it and finish the setup.

## D — Finish and test

* Print a test page from your computer.
* Add the printer in **Windows Settings → Printers & scanners** or **macOS → System Settings → Printers & Scanners**. The Canon software usually auto-adds it.

**call Canon support at **1-866-203-7571**

# 5 — Method D: Mobile setup with Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app (Android & iOS)

Using the Canon PRINT app is the easiest way to connect and start printing from your phone.

1. **Download the app.**

* On iPhone/iPad, open the **App Store** and install **Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY**.
* On Android, use the **Google Play Store**.
2. **Open the app and accept permissions.**
3. **Add a printer.**

* Tap **Add Printer** or the **+** icon. The app will search for printers on the same Wi-Fi network.
4. **If the printer is not yet on Wi-Fi:**

* Use the app’s **Wireless LAN setup** option. The app can guide the printer through the wireless setup (depending on the model).
* Some setups require temporarily connecting your phone to the printer’s temporary Wi-Fi (Wireless Direct) to pass the SSID/password to the printer.
5. **Complete setup and print.**

* Once the printer is connected to your home Wi-Fi, the app will show it and let you print photos, documents, and scan.

**Tip:** If your mobile device is on cellular, switch it to the same Wi-Fi network during setup.

# 6 — Useful network and IP details

* After connecting, the printer will get an IP address from your router (example: 192.168.1.45). You can print a **Network Status** or **LAN settings** page from the printer setup menu to see the IP.
* Knowing the IP address is useful if you want to add the printer by IP on a computer or troubleshoot connectivity.

**call Canon support at **1-866-203-7571**

# 7 — Troubleshooting (common problems and fixes)

### Printer won’t find the Wi-Fi network

* **Check band:** If your router broadcasts separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs, try connecting to the **2.4 GHz** SSID. Many printers cannot see 5 GHz networks.
* **SSID hidden?** If your network name is hidden, choose **Manual SSID entry** and type the SSID exactly.
* **Distance/interference:** Move the printer closer to the router during setup, remove big metal objects, microwaves, or other wireless devices.

### Incorrect password error

* Re-enter the password carefully. Passwords are case sensitive. Use the on-screen keyboard’s shift key for capitals.
* If you’re not sure of the password, check another device already connected to Wi-Fi or log into your router’s admin page.

### WPS method failed

* WPS must be enabled in the router settings. Check your router and try again. If your router has WPS disabled by ISP, use manual setup.

### Printer previously connected to a different router

* If the printer was used on another network, go to **Setup → Device settings → Reset network settings** to clear old configuration and start fresh.

### Printer shows “Connected” but cannot print

* Confirm your computer/phone is on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer (not guest network).
* On Windows, open **Printers & scanners**, remove the old printer entry, and **Add a printer** again.
* Check firewall or antivirus — they can block communication. Temporarily disable or allow Canon software.

### Canon software fails to detect the printer during driver install

* Temporarily connect the printer to your computer via USB during driver installation as the installer may need a direct connection to pass Wi-Fi credentials.
* Restart the router, the printer, and your computer and try again.

### Printer IP changed and print jobs fail

* If your router assigns dynamic IPs, the printer’s IP may change. Set a **Static IP** on the printer or reserve an IP for the printer in the router’s DHCP settings (recommended for reliable printing).

**call Canon support at **1-866-203-7571**

# 8 — Advanced tips & settings

* **Static IP / DHCP reservation:** Reserve the printer’s IP in your router or set a static IP in the printer’s network settings to avoid “printer not found” problems.
* **Printer name:** Change the device name in the printer settings so it’s easy to identify (e.g., “KitchenPrinter_TR4722”).
* **Firmware updates:** Occasionally check Canon’s support site for firmware updates that may improve connectivity or features.
* **Guest networks:** Avoid connecting the printer to a guest network — many guest networks block device-to-device communication.
* **Router mode:** Ensure router security is WPA2-PSK (AES) for best compatibility. Avoid WPA3-only or enterprise setups without proper configuration.
* **Wireless Direct / Access Point:** If you want to print without a Wi-Fi network, enable Wireless Direct on the printer to create a direct connection from a phone or tablet. This is slower and not recommended for multiple users.

# 9 — Printing and scanning from different devices

## Windows / macOS

* After installing drivers, add printer in system settings. Use Canon’s IJ Scan Utility to scan documents.
* On macOS, allow Canon software permissions in **System Settings → Privacy & Security** (access to camera/files if needed).

## Smartphones / Tablets

* Use the **Canon PRINT** app to print photos, web pages, and documents and to scan to mobile.
* You can also use AirPrint (iOS) if the printer supports it — the printer should appear automatically in the iOS print menu when on the same network.

## Chromebook

* On Chromebooks, add the printer by IP or use Google Cloud Print alternatives. Go to Chromebook **Settings → Advanced → Printing** and add a new printer.
