Just got a Canon PIXMA MX432 and trying to set up.  It asks for me to push the WPS button, but can't find?  Hep?

You are a genius!  I am so grateful for your post. This printer drives me nuts!  Thank you thank you thank you !!!

You are welcomed. it is actually quite a good printer (except for being a major print-alcoholic) and maybe Canon will eventually hire some documentation "interpreters" to translate what their documentation writers produce. Until then...our posts here do help each other.

hope you read further to discover hitting "stop" button will bring you up another alternative as many of us finally discovered who are also without a WPS button

Another victory! Glad you succeeded.

Thank you so so much...trying since two days..worked in seconds
Canon should hire you

Good to hear you succeeded!

And...yes, I know. Canon seriously needs to:
1. Hire & USE user interface talents
2. Invest in common-send and visually-oriented manual documentation creators

Meanwhile, we have to remember with no such "button" the STOP one right on the printer will bring up the menu section we need. If the printer mysteriously loses the connection go back to the setup menu & hit STOP button again. Mine still does with each system update.

WPS (Wireless Protected Service) is located in your wireless router. Press and hold for a few second and go back to your printer, then press OK on printer. It will set up the wireless on the printer. Ofcourse if you dont have wireless service, you can not activate it.
