I have a Canon Pixima MG6200 series printer.
I recently upgraded to a Unifi networking setup.
This printer defaults to connecting to a network via wireless WPS, which of isn't supported by the Unifi, because of security issues or smth I've heard.
That said, it can also connect wirelessly to a normal SSID and wired with ethernet. Initially the wireless just didn't seem to work.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I had to make an entirely new WPA2 network instead of my normal WPA2/WPA3 network to get it to work, plus disable 5GHz on this new network and turn off all the fancy settings like fast roaming, BSS transition ect - and it finally connected.
I can now access the printers web interface via it's IP and it shows up on my iPhone.
But when I go to print, every print job gets stuck on 'waiting' and never gets any further.
I have also tested it with an 'open' network, which also didn't work.
I also set it up wired with ethernet. Same results as above. It gets an IP, and I can access it but gets stuck on 'waiting' trying to print.
Any ideas?
A second problem - others in my household use MAC and they can print fine (on the old network) but I've never been able to print on this printer from any Windows machine - I've seen others have this issue as well. Any ideas on this one? https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/MG6200-and-Windows-11/m-p/365199 https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/MG6200-need-driver-software-download/m-p/... (the link in this response has no drivers for windows)
Thanks heaps on advance 🙂
