It's ok to leave the thread open. Because we discovered that you can only use the Canon Windows CD to set up the wireless, it may be just a matter of time before you do it eg. friends laptop etc.
For The first step, please uninstal and then install again software and driver for canon mg3122.if you dont have cd instalation, can to download here: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/mg-series/pixma-mg3122?tab=drivers_downloads
I know this is the most obvious question but was the printer actually setup for wireless with putting in the passphrase and/or wireless turned on in the printer settings. I just know using HP printers seems to make things easier and also setting a default IP on the printer when using networked/wireless printing. I have had printers not show up on the router because they changed IP randomly.
@v-grimalkin lets sort this out for once and for good. If you install Teamviewer via Lite Software I can login remotely and get this done.Thanks, Jerry. Not today. I'm on a different laptop and leaving to go on a hike. Will resume this quest tomorrow.
@v-grimalkin ,You didn't answer the question of whether you are already able to print wirelessly to the printer or not. Nothing in my house can print wirelessly to the printer. You are right; I know NOTHING! Nothing shows up when I search network for a printer. It is the default printer, but only connected to local host, whatever that means.
I too run a Canon printer, model 882. However, I find when using the system on a wifi only connection, remember there is a timeout on the assigned address. What has worked well for me is to determine what addresses are in the router pool. Then pick one that is not within the pool, ie 192.168.1.250. Your IP set may be different. On the printer, manually assign that chosen address. The connect the printer with a network cable directly to the router. Then the router will have that address known and can connect the computer to the printer. On the printer, indicate the printer is on a wired network. I have had less issues doing this than expecting the computer to find the printer in the entire IP set.
