Hi,

I'm trying to connect my Canon MG3550 to my WiFi network via USB. I selected my access point in the Detected Access Point List, I entered my WPA2 network key, and I get the dreadful error The printer could not be detected on the network. etc etc

This is what I see in Network Information:

Hi,

========================================

It looks like the MAC address of the printer is D8-49-2F-7A-1B-34.

If I go to my router control panel, I can see it detected in the WLAN, but I don't see it in the DHCP table.
