Canon PIXMA-MG2522 user manual

The Canon Pixma MG2522 printer does not have built-in Wi-Fi capability. It can only be connected to a computer or device using a USB cable.

Step 1: Unbox your Canon printer, connect it to the power supply and turn it on.

Step 2: Insert the Canon PIXMA MG2522 installation CD into your computer's CD ROM. If you don't have a CD, you can download the driver from the Canon official website.
Step 3: Follow the onscreen instructions until the installation process is complete.
Step 4: Once the installation is complete, connect your Canon PIXMA MG2522 to your computer using the USB cable that came with your printer.
Step 5: Your computer should automatically recognize the printer. If not, you may need to install the printer manually from your computer's Control Panel > Printers.
Step 6: Once your computer recognizes the printer, you should see the Canon PIXMA MG2522 icon in your printer’s folder.
Step 7: Do a test print to see if your printer is working properly.
Note: If you want to use your printer wirelessly, make sure your printer has wireless capabilities, and also ensure your computer and printer are connected to the same Wifi network. However, please be informed that Canon MG2522 does not support wireless printing. You can only operate it through a USB connection.

Here's how you can print documents from your phone using Pixma MG2522:
1. Install a printing app: The Canon MG2522 doesn't directly support wireless printing. However, you might use apps like PrintHand or PrinterShare, which can allow you to print to your Printer over USB OTG connection from your Android device.
2. USB OTG: This stands for "USB On the Go." If your Android phone or tablet supports this, you can connect your device directly to your printer using a USB cable and a OTG adaptor.
3. Set up the app and printer: Follow the instructions on the printing app to select your printer and print your document.
To note, the printer does need to be in the On position for this method to work, and also you may need to invest in an OTG adaptor. Also, this method doesn't work on iOS devices - it is more useful for Android devices. For iOS, a printer with AirPrint capabilities would be needed for wireless printing.
