2. Navigate to “Settings” and select “Wireless LAN Setup.”
3. Choose “WPS Setup” and then “WPS PIN.”

5. Enter the WPS PIN on your wireless router’s configuration page.

Install Printer Drivers

To use your Canon MG2922 wireless printer, you need to install the printer drivers on your computer. You can do this by either using the setup CD or downloading the drivers from Canon’s official website. Follow these steps:

1. Insert the setup CD into your computer’s CD/DVD drive.

3. If you’re downloading the drivers from Canon’s website, navigate to the support section and search for your printer model.
4. Download the drivers for your operating system and follow the installation instructions.

Testing the Printer

After installing the drivers and connecting the printer to your Wi-Fi network, it’s essential to test the printer to ensure everything is working correctly. Try printing a test page to verify that the printer is functioning properly. If the test page prints successfully, you can now start using your Canon MG2922 wireless printer for all your printing needs.

By following these steps, you should have no trouble installing your Canon MG2922 wireless printer. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, consult the printer’s manual or contact Canon customer support for further assistance.
