pixma pro -1 setup

RICHJK — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 22:45:53 GMT

Just now attempting to set up my new pixma pro-1.

I discover that this machine is not a wireless unit. Wow.

Anyway perhaps someone knows what sort of USB adapter would work for me to get the printer to communicate with my linksys router.

The Pro-1 has an Ethernet connection, so you can plug it in to the router via an Ethernet cable.

Hello again.

I realize how the printer can be plugged in.

I need to make it work wirelessly suince the unit is in another room beyond where it can be reached by a cord.

Therefor the idea of usin a USB adapter.

Misunderstood your question. This should address your needs.

This is not going to be a good idea. It is not even a printer question. It is a network question. I will bet a solution which goes through the ethernet port, as John Hoffman suggested, will be better and easier than the USB.

Can you put a small computer in the room with the Pro-1 to act as a server?

I found this online.

The printer has no accessible operating system so the USB dongles like you would plug into a computer won't work.
