No more need to use an USB cable for the initial setup of the LAN connection. I have now another brand of router which seems to be ‘in better terms’ with the printer.
Recently I discovered that part of the problem was my former router. In the end, I had to do it using initially a USB cable. In my case, Wifi installation wasn’t what I’d call fun but tiresome and frustrating. Owning myself a Pro10s, I agree about the setup. Well on the way to some lovely prints, I hope. And the package I ordered from Octoinkjet came and is super comprehensive, looks like everything I could possibly need except tissue paper. The good news is that after a 300 mile courier trip my "new" secondhand printer seems fine, it printed some test pages without a hiccup. I use Photoshop CC 2017 which the accompanying blurb tells me is a compatible version. I have it downloaded, but when I attempt to add it to Photoshop as a plugin (by running "Canon Print Sudio Pro Plug-In Install" utility) it comes back with an error that a compatible version of Photoshop is not installed. Then there is Print Studio Pro which I found at Canon Hong Kong (Canon UK mentions it but gives no links). I do have something called "Canon My Printer" which really is useless as it only works with a cable connection, not WiFi as I have, but it in any case doesn't allow e.g. Navigating through various Canon websites always takes me to "Canon IJ Scanner Utility" which on a Pro-10s clearly isn't useful. But I can't find it anywhere although I did download and install the whole software + drivers package. There's something called "Canon IJ Printer Utility" which allows me to do some basic maintenance from the computer. There are two problems remaining though I'd guess they won't be my last.ġ.
Anyway it's fixed now, I don't know how (which is a worry) but it is. It wasn't accepting the WPS signal and even though the blue light came steadily on, there was no connection. As has been documented here by others, the setup process of the Pro-10s is unbelievably messy and frustrating.
