Need help connecting printer without CD/DVD drive

I have the mg3120. I just purchased a macbook pro. There is no CD/DVD on the macbook pro. I downloaded the driver, but cannot figure out how to make my printer go wireless. I installed the software from the download, but no instructaions came up for me to make it wireless. It works when I connect the ethernet cord directly to my printer, but I don't want to be connected all of the time.

 

Thanks!

Hello.

 

To install the unit on your Mac without the CD, please download the necessary drivers from our website at the following link:

 

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mg_series/pixma_mg3120#D... 

 

Once there, download the CUPS Printer driver, Scanner Driver and IJ Network Tool from the website.  These items will allow you to use the printer wirelessly on the Mac.
