The easiest way to add Canon or any other printer to Mac is to connect it via a USB cable. This time was my old Canon printer.Īnd since it took a while to figure out the best way to add the printer to my Mac, I decided to list all steps here in case someone needs a quick guide.

However, even after two weeks using a new laptop, I am still finding apps and drivers I need to set up. Neither of those addresses corresponded with the MAC addresses on any of the access points.The printer should connect to Access Point #4, which is the nearest one, but the printer isn't detecting it (or has the wrong MAC address.I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and I had to re-install all apps I was using on the old Mac. The printer asked me which wireless access point I wanted to connect to and listed two devices with MAC addresses. This morning I removed the printer from the network and reconnected it manually. When I try to print from the laptop I get an error message stating the printer isn't responding.

None of this has fixed the connection problems. I also rebooted the router (the router is part of our system but is not an access point). I removed printer from the network and reconnected it. Yesterday I uninstalled all Canon software from my laptop, deleted the printer, rebooted the laptop, and then reinstalled all the software. Sometimes it would print only part of a document. It would print from some devices but not others. The printer started acting erractically about a week ago.

We could print from my Lenovo laptop (which has Windows 10), two iPhones, an Apple laptop, and an Apple iPad. The printer worked fine for about 6 weeks. After the new system was installed I sucessfully connected our PIXMA TS6020 printerr to the the nearest access point (#4). We recently upgraded our wirelss system from a single router to a Ubiquiti system that includes four wireless access points.
