Canon Pixma iP110 Wireless Mobile Printer With Airprint And Cloud Compatible

I bought this printer because it is small, compact and portable. I have had Canon printers in the past, and they are good photo printers, however my last 4 printers were all HP. They all still work, just old technology. I bought a wireless HP printer/scanner for home, it was easy to set to work with any wireless network without using a cd rom to set it up. I needed a portable printer for work and all of the HP printers the size of the Canon Pixma were way out of my price range. So, I bought the Canon printer for the price point, size, and Canon's reputation. I got so frustrated trying to set this printer up, I almost sent it back. I needed to set this printer up, so it worked with my Android phone and Android tablets. When I am at home, I'm on one network, but when I go to work, I am on a different network and I use my cell phone carrier's network when I'm not at work, or home. Setting it up, was a nightmare, because you get no real instructions in the box. I also read the reviews, so I know I was not the only one. I downloaded the manual for this printer and I figured out how to set this printer up very easily for Android. Once I knew what to do, it literally took 2 minutes to set up! First go to the Google play store and download Canon Print Injet/Selphy app and Canon Print Service plug-in app. Turn your printer on, hold down the wifi button, until the power button blinks 3 times. Now, go to your wifi settings on your device and look for your printers wifi address, the address will end with ip110. Look at the back of your printer, the pass word for printers ip address will be there, consisting of 4 letters and 5 numbers, it will say serial number, but it is also your password. Enter your password then click your Canon Print Injet/Selphy app, and print away! Yes it's that easy! You would think that someone at Canon would have made a simply instruction booklet to explain that simply wireless set-up, so that us consumers wouldn't be so frustrated, but that's too much like right. I heard the set-up for Apple devices is really easy too. Please remember this, if you want to print pages off the internet, you must download or screen capture them first, then switch to the printer's wifi network, to print wirelessly.

This is a great printer: good quality and super easy to use with all of your devices. It isn't meant to be lightning fast it's meant to be super portable. The speed is still pretty quick and when you whip this out with ease and start printing you will need the time for everyone to ask about his super neat gizmo. Since you won't need to crawl on the floor to a plug or unwind cords and cables you'll have even more time to pat yourself on the back and look like the Professional that you are.I never could get this to find my network by pushing the WPS button. This is the fault of my AT&T router/modem because I bought a new MX922 Canon printer which also would not find the network with WPS. I entered it manually. I think I prefer manual entry, plugging something in then hitting a button to crack open and connect to your secure network seems INSECURE.Just in case the Bluetooth doesn't work (for some inconceivable reason) you can always plug your laptop into the USB port. Not that I've had trouble, I'm just saying. Get the 6foot cable so you can sit and type in your lap. A 3foot cable might entail hunching over the printer to stay close if your cord is short. Cords cost $2 and up so splurge for the 6 footer. If you want to keep looking like a Pro you will be prepared with fail proof backup. You still will not need to crawl around and plug into the wall, just a short cord laptop to printer. Make sure you get the right USB cord.

I got the Pixma 110 to take on business trips. For that purpose, it is small, but not that small, and it's light, but not that light. I took it out of the box, and opened the quick set up instructions. The drawings are less than fully obvious, but I got it to the point where everything looked okay, but it wouldn't run the alignment routine, and two of the top 2 lights kept flashing. I looked on the Internet to find out what the alternating flashing lights meant, found the on-line manual, and also that my problem wasn't listed. I unplugged the printer, and left it to sit while I worked on something else. I had the thought of opening the cover and checking the print cartridges, and I discovered that one was just barely unseated. I didn't see it at first. I played with the cartridge, and finally got it properly plugged in. I still had to turn the printer off for a minute, and finally, when I turned it back on, the alignment routine worked. All things considered, this was my fault, but I do wish that there was a guide that said that the alternating flashing lights meant that the carriages weren't properly plugged in.I did the "press the 3rd button for 3 flashes, and the 2nd button for 6 flashes," as described in several reviews, and sure enough, the printer printed out a page of data, including a password. I turned on my iPad Pro, went to settings/wi-fi, found and chose the Pixma, typed in the password that the printer gave me, and IT CONNECTED!Bottom line: If I had properly seated the ink cartridges in the first place, the whole installation would have been painless, and taken about 5 minutes.I downloaded the "Delphi/mobile printer" app from the iOS app store, and I was able to print to it. But then, I tried printing doirectly from the apps I used -- press "print," and the Pixma came up, with a settings button. It worked too. Printouts of text and photos were all excellent. Photo prints were a bit slow, but surprisingly good looking, especially given that I was using plain paper.I gave the printer 4 stars because it a bit big/heavy for something that I'd like to bring in my luggage; I'm going to have to figure out how to pack it in a safe, but not too heavy way. Note that it is about as light as the other portable printers, so I'm not suggesting that another currently available printer would be better. And it is wireless, which is a great feature. Still, I'm suggesting that we need for the technology to evolve and generate a new smaller, lighter printer.
