Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw: Printing from the Remote UI

Mudaris

I wasn't sure if this was the correct location. I have a Canon MF566cdw

Anyhow, I want to know how to print from the remote UI -- is there a way to do it so that if I have say, a word doc or PDF I want to print, I can do it? The instructions Canon has whenever I look it up says either I need the Direct Print Kit, or they say I can click on a direct print option that doesn't appear in my remote UI. 

I have no clue what the Direct Print Kit is, I google it and it just loops back to various mentions of it but it does not say whether I can download it or link to it. It's this mysterious thing. 

This is what my remote UI Looks like, I am using a mac, I would like to know if I log in from a windows machine if IU can print from it. The reason I want to do this at all is that my wife's windows machine seems to not want to "talk" to the printer over our network; it appears on the list, but when we try to connect it comes back with "that didn't work" -- and we cannot install the driver on her machine because she is not an admin. And her security protocols prevent us from simply putting it on a usb stick. 

Anyhow, any assistance is appreciated. I attached a screenshot of what my remote UI looks like, there is no direct print option on there. I did set up a pin and logging in works, at least on this browser.

Hello,

You wrote:
"This feature allows you to send an email to an address configured on the printer and supported attachments are printed when received"

Do you know which attachements are supported by iFax-receive? I've tried pdf, but that doesn't seem to work. This information is not in the manual. Thanks

Hi Shadowsports -

I'm sorry for the incompetent question, but I'm using a CMF656cdw, and my what I see in the remote UI looks nothing like what you have. When I click Tx settings, I see this:

And there is nowhere in any of those links to set SMTP server. What am I doing wrong?

When I try to use Remote UI, I can't log in. When I used the printer's IP address, I get the error above. Can anyone explain how to progress.  Much appreciated.
