Thread: problem with MP560 wifi connection

    Default problem with MP560 wifi connection

    Hi,

    I have setup a Canon MP560 as a wifi printer and can connect without any problems with a Windows 7 machine.
    I have a Win XP machine on the same network but cannot add it as a printer.
    The software that comes on the Canon disk cannot find it, nor can I manually fin it.
    I can however navigate to the printer using its IP address in my IE, yet cannot add it. I even tried adding it via a new TCP/IP port, still no luck.

    Any ideas??

    Be sure you're trying to add it as a local machine on a tcp/ip port, as opposed to a network machine. Windows XP expects "network printers" to have a network domain and name, and does not use IP addresses for network purposes.
