How do I connect my laptops so I can print from them?

I just purchased the Canon PIXMA MG3122 Printer and have it hooked up to my desktop computer.  The problem is that I cannot figure out how to connect it so I can add 2 more laptops and my Ipad.
All of the laptops and the Ipad are wireless which is why I upgraded my old printer.  I needed the new one to be WiFi.
No matter what I type in the help section, I cannot figure it out.  I did try calling Canon, but due to the storm, I guess they closed early.
Can someone help?

Hi mysterysinc,
Since the MG3122 doesn't have an operation panel to input your wireless information, to get the printer set up on your first wireless laptop you would need to temporarily connect the printer to the laptop via USB and run the installation CD to set up the wireless.  Choose Easy Install, choose Wireless, and when prompted what type of wireless setup you want to do, choose the Standard Setup.  It will prompt you to connect the USB cable, and then search for wireless networks nearby.  Select yours, type in your network key and click Connect and it should set the printer up.  On the second laptop you'll go through the same steps, minus the USB cable.  When you choose the Standard Setup it should then detect that the printer is already on the network and simply configure the printer driver to use the existing network connection.

  • My g3 os 9.2.2 is connected to airport router. i can print from my pwerbook but g3 does't see the printer

    my g3 os 9.2.2 is connected to airport router. i can print from my pwerbook but g3 does't see the printer

    Yes, when I bought my powerbook and airport and first set it up the chooser showed the HP 842C printer.
    The printer is connected to the USB on the Airport.
    The PB sees the G3 as a server (2 hard drives).
    Do I need to set up the PB as a server on the G3? How do I do that?
    I've tried Apple share, but when I try to connect to PB address or the name the G3 freezes.

    I have a brand new iMac.  I also have a brand new Airport Extreme.  I have a cannon MG6320.  I have the printer contected to the Airport Extreme.  It works fine from my iMac.  But I do not know how to setup Airprint, so I can also print from my iPad 2 (original iPad 2, not the new iPad 2).

  • Is there any way to download the Photoshop Elements 10 tutorials to my laptop so I can work from them when I don't have access to a Wi-Fi connection?

    Hello, I finally have time to learn how to use my Photoshop Elements 10 program.  However, I want to be able to use it while we travel and I seldom have access to a Wi-Fi connection.  I was wondering if there's any way to download the Adobe website's tutorials to my laptop so I'm not dependent on that Wi-Fi connection?
    Thanks so much!

    Yes. You can download the Firefox installer and copy the file to an USB stick or other medium and install Firefox from that drive.
    You can find all Firefox versions here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • HT3500 How do I connect HP3050 desk jet wireless to print from my ipad?

    How can I connect my iPad 6 to HP desk jet 3050 a wireless?

    Unfortunately this printer doesn't support AirPrint, so you can't print using the official Apple method.
    However, you could try an app like PrintCentral, but there's no guarantees this will work.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

    Your iPad should be able to print directly to your printer if it is an AirPrint compatible model.

    how do you connect to wi fi. i can t get the ipad to connect to my home network.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac running system 10.7

    How do I connect an HP LaserJet 5000 GN printer to my iMac (system 10.7.5) ?

    Ok, I too have been having a time with hooking up the Great HP 5000 GN to my new 2013 MacPro desktop computer.
    And I have tried everthing.  Excep This, Last night I decided to treat it as a brand new printer, right out of the box.
    I turned it off, (the rocker switch) and unpluged everthing to it and left it overnight.
    This morning I plug it in.  In this order, the Ethernet Cable from the Xfinity Modem / Router.  Then the Power Cord,
    Then turned it on ( the rocker switch).  And let it go through the initaliting process.
    Then at the printer panel on the printer, I printed out a fresh Configuration.  I noticed right away the IP Address was different than the one I had been trying to use.
    Then I went into the System Preferences / Printers & Scanners.  Held down the Control Key with with the curser in the
    big area where the Printers/Scanners are listed and clicked on it to reset the items inside that area. To clean everthing out.
    Then  clicked the IP ikon and put the NEW IP Number in the address space.
    BINGO !!!  Spacs started to fill up!  And I hit the Add Button.
    I opened Illustrator and pulled up a file and went through the paces to print.  BINGO ! The printer went into action before
    I took my finger off the button!
    This is the first time I have ever posted anything. But I just had to tell y'all who have had the same trouble as I have.
    So now,  you can have Happy Holidays with your MacPro OS X 10.10.1 and the HP 5000 series
