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?

it works now, but only because I found the dvd and installed it from there.

THANK YOU!!!  Completely agree with every word...and for so thoughtfully walking us through the process.  The screen prompt sequence was so misleading.

Not only do the instructions refer to a button that doesn't exist in the majority of cases, but the "more options" message is displayed OVER AN ASSIGNABLE BUTTON under the LCD display. Why didn't Canon use THAT BUTTON to provide access to a proper setup screen?

Where is keypad

Hi Pattiblanton,

 

What is the model of Canon printer that you own?

Just bought a Canon Maxify MB5310.  My router does not have a WPS "button" to push.  Please advise.

I have spent a whoe afternoon looking for that darn WPS button-got so mad.Cannon for goodness sake change your wording on the instruction- screen-very badly explained

Well. It is now 2016 & the instructions are still the same. So THANK YOU for your tip! I have no WPS button on my old router & was going nuts trying to get the printer to recognize the wifi. Once I used your instructions I was able to get it going. Canon, don't you know a lot of laptops don't have CDs (aka cup holders) anymore?
