Mx490 won't print from either of my android devices.

I followed the setup instructions on the printer as well as the instructions on the Canon app. Here's a pic of the error message.Screenshot_2016-02-19-01-43-41.png

Hi JoeNoble,

 

Please make sure that your PIXMA MX490 is operating on your wireless network:

 

1. Press the <Setup> button on your PIXMA MX490.

 

2. Use the left or right button to select Device Settings and press <OK>.

 

3. Use the left or right button to select LAN Settings and press <OK>.

 

4. Use the left or right button to select Wireless LAN Setup and press <OK>.

 

5. Use the left or right button to select Standard Setup and press <OK>

 

6. Enter your wireless network password and press <OK>. Please verify the password, as it is case sensitive and if entered incorrectly, will cause the printer and router to not communicate. To switch between letters and numbers, press the * key.

 

7. Press <OK> on the confirmation screen. The PIXMA MX490 will search for the access point.

 

8. When found, press <OK> on the Connected to the access point screen.

 

Once your PIXMA MX490 is connected to your wireless network, then attempt to print using the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app from your android device.

When I go through the steps it never asks for my password and it tells me to push the button on my router but it never actually connects.

It is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Real time feedback of a live technical support call would be very beneficial in this case.

Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays). A Canon technical support representative will be able to resolve this issue faster.
