I recently picked up a Canon Inkjet printer, and I’m trying to figure out how to fully integrate it with my phone. While I can see the printer on my network, I’m not sure how to enable the scanning features or ensure a stable connection for printing documents and photos directly from my mobile device.
Could you provide the steps or the specific app needed to manage both the printing and scanning functions from a smartphone?
You can connect a Canon Inkjet printer scanner to your phone by using the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app. First, make sure your printer and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then install the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, open it, and add your printer. Once connected, you can scan documents or photos directly from the printer to your phone through the app.
If your printer supports Wi-Fi Direct, you can also connect your phone directly to the printer without a router. Enable Wi-Fi Direct on the printer, connect your phone to the printer’s Wi-Fi network, and then use the Canon app to scan and save files.
