With an Apple router that has no WPS button, how is MX 922 set up

Using Windows 7, how is MX922 printer connected to Apple router that has no WPS button, but (I believe) supports WPS?

Try this approach:

Allowing Wireless Clients to Access Your Network Without Entering a Password If your network is password-protected using WPA Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal, you can provide wireless clients access to your network without requiring them to enter the network password. When you allow a client access to your network, the client’s name and wireless MAC address (or AirPort ID) are stored in the access control list of AirPort Utility until you remove the client from the list. You can also provide 24 hours of access, after which time the client will no longer be able to access your network. When you give a client access to your wireless network, the client doesn’t need to enter the network password. To allow a client to access your network without entering the network password: 1 Open AirPort Utility, select your Time Capsule, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the password if necessary. 2 Choose Add Wireless Clients from the Base Station menu. 3 Select how you want the client to access the network: Â Select PIN to enter the eight-digit number provided by the client requesting network access. Â Select “First attempt” to allow network access to the first client attempting to join the network. While the Time Capsule waits for a client to join the network, the LED glows blue.

Thank you.  Before I got anything done, my son walked in and using the printer screen and buttons, got the machine going.  It took him just a minute or two and all is up and running with password protection.

This is too confusing for me.

I use a PC and the new Canon MX922 is mine.

I'm having difficulty setting up the wireless function.

My son uses a MAC and the Apple router is his.  There's no WPA button.

What does HE have to do to allow both of us to print wirelessly

Additional info requested by the forum:   I'm operating an HP PC Windows 8.1

My son uses a MAC

In the past we've used the same Cannon (old) printer--he used it wirelessly; I was wired.

Hi BimboKay,

Your son can download and install the latest drivers and software from the Canon USA website to install the printer for wireless use without using the WPS button.  Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX922.  Once on the initial download page for the printer, please do the following:

1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.

2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click on the CUPS driver file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.

Once you have downloaded and installed the CUPS driver file from the website, please also install all other items from the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU and DRIVERS section of the website.  To install the rest of the software that comes with the printer, please follow the steps above, except for in step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the "SOFTWARE" section instead of the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU section to locate and download the software.

Once all items have been downloaded, please double-click on each of the items on your Mac to install them. Since you plan on using the printer wirelessly, please be sure to install the Canon IJ Network Tool last after all other driver and software have been installed; it should be the very last item installed.  

Hope this helps!
