Pro-100, no CD, No Mini Master download to connect to new wifi

[imbrium]

Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting my computer wirelessly to my Pixma Pro-100. My Wifi has changed and I have a MacBook Pro without a CD drive. The printer is still connected to the old Wifi network name when I print the report.

I saw in a past discussion that Pro-100 Mini Master can be downloaded in Drivers and Software and used to re-set up the printer, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore or at least doesn't exist for my Mac OS.

Any suggestions on what can be done?

Thanks!

Try this:

Thanks, jrhoffman75,

I had tried this multiple times and everytime I got the blue light to flash and hit the WPS button, the error light would flash yellow on the printer. It's still "connected" to the old internet 😞

You could download and try the IJ Network Tool. It’s available for Mojave, so should work with all versions.

Hi imbrium,

First, to reset your PIXMA PRO-100, please press and hold the RESUME/CANCEL button then release the button when the POWER lamp flashes 15 times.

Next, please download and instal the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app on a mobile device.

Please place your PIXMA PRO-100 in cableless setup mode:

Then follow the steps in the appropriate page below to set up your PIXMA PRO-100 for wireless use using that app:

Hi thanks for your reply!

I followed all directions, but the app is unable to find the printer on the network 😞

jrhoffman754, I will give it another try! Thanks for your suggestion.

I figured it out, in case anyone else is having this issue!  I had to delete the printer driver completely from my computer again. Then I downloaded the network tool but pushed WPS button before putting the computer in wireless setup mode.

The computer recognized the printer and I was able to confirm the new network. Then I added the printer through System Preferences. This is for MacOS. Thanks for all your suggestions!
