    Canon PIXMA MX700 Printer


    My Canon PIXMA MX700 Printer isn't functioning as a network printer. During installation of it as a network printer, what it does is say "Communicating with printer." for a while and
    then it says "The printer in the network could not be detected
    automatically. Set the IP address of the printer to be connected." And no
    matter what I select it starts over with "Communicating with printer." I corresponded with Canon via email, but in the end they just said to call their technical support. The printer is wired into the modem and plugged into the computer via USB, so I don't get the problem.

    On my Canon MX870 I use the wireless connection but there is also an eithernet port. I believe what you are seeing is the wireless wizard attempting to connect wirelessly to the printer.

    If you are using the wired or wireless connection you should not need to use the USB connection on the printer. Perhaps this has something to do with the problem?

    Does the printer show up on the Windows 7 network map? Does it show as being connected in the routers settings?

    If I unplug the USB cord, it stays at the Printer Connection window.

    Apparently the USB is only required for the initial set up of the printer.

    I did find an add on tool from Canon that is supposed to make the installation with Windows 7 work better.

    There is also an updated firmware for Windows 7 that might help, dated 8/5/10 version 1.080.

    One other problem I noticed is that your default gateway isn't showing up correctly in the ipconfig read out for the MX700
    (43)Mode. . . . . . . . . . . . . : Auto
    (44)IP Address. . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.123 < IP looks ok here

    (46)Default Gateway . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 <should be 192.168.0.1

    The instructions I found here seem pretty clear:

    Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : PIXMA MX700

    Look at the Network Setup Guide. It worked for me on my MX700.

    Canon PIXMA MX700 Printer


    Either connect the printer directly to a computer and let the computer act as a print server, or use a wired or wireless connection to a router. Not directly to a modem, and not any of the above in combination.
