PIXMA G3400 Chromebook Connection

zurabg — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:25:02 GMT

I am no longer able to print to PIXMA G3400 from my Chromebook. My computer does not see the printer on WiFi and when connected by USB, it gives a message that printer needs to be configured, but I can not perform this either. Downloaded Canon Print app - the one I use on my Android phone - but it won't launc. Any fix? Please?

Greetings,

I am still using my cloud print capable devices with my Android phone. These devices are network printers identified by their IP address.

Set up your printer - Chromebook Help (google.com)

and

Add Printer Manually:

If your printer doesn’t appear under "Available printers to save," you can also add your printer manually.

Important: If you're using a Chromebook at work or school, and you're not able to add a new printer, contact your administrator.

At the bottom right, select the time.
Select Settings .
At the bottom, select Advanced.
Under "Printing," select Printers.
Next to "Add printer," select Add printer .
Enter your printer information:
- Name: Enter any name.
- Address: Enter your printer’s IP address.
- Protocol: For most printers, the supported connection protocol is IPP.
- Queue: For most printers, the queue is ipp/print.
Select Add.

If your printer can't be set up automatically, you can continue to follow the on-screen steps for the advanced setup process.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried many things, and found out that 9100 and 631 ports are closed on my printer - I have no idea why. Then, when I try to use 443 port, my computer asks me additional tweaks to make and I am unable to select printer name in the drop-down menu as my printer name is not listed... Then it requires PPD, which I have no clue how to grab. Please see attached screenshots.

There also is an option to choose Generic printer, but I don't know which type would be relevant to my printer.
