MX472 printer - want to turn off Wireless

mx472owner — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 17:05:44 GMT

Hello Community,

It's not a big thing, but Canon's online manual is of no help, but hope this forum can help.

I inadvertently enabled Wifi on this printer, but I'm using the hardwired USB connection and don't want the wifi version. But I find no way to turn it off.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi,

Press the setup button on your printer (screwdriver icon) and then use the right or left arrow and press OK on Device Settings. Use the right or left arrow again and select reset setting. From there use the arrow again and select LAN Settings and press OK. This will restore the printer's network settings back to factory default.

Thank you! There was, for me, one additional step. In LAN settings, press right arrow to get LAN Inactive (I think), then OK. A few seconds pause, then Wifi is off & blue LED is gone.
