Printer MF656Cdw - how to scan to PC (using wifi)

SylvainP — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 04:17:42 GMT

Hi all, I cannot find the way to scan document and send it to my PC on the network.

The printer is connect over wi-fi (2.4 Ghz)

I have install all the drivers and the MF scan utility (which also say I don't have any driver)

On my old HP officejet printer this was a piece of cake. Why so complicated with this Canon ?

I also tried the UI remote.

what I am missing here, is this possible to scan to my PC when the printer is connect using wi-fi ?

Thanks

Using Windows 11

I download fils from Canon Canada which are not up to date.

I went to this site and download the 2 recommended drivers and everything is fine now.
