Can I make the MP 780 Wireless? What's the best course of action?

Buy a print server that will connect into your wireless router. You can find generic ones for about$50, Lexmark also makes one but it goes for $150.

Yes, using the commander mode and with the SB600 set to wireless mode. I've done this many shoots.

Yes that is exactly what you can do. Actually Access Points are designed just for this purpose vs. Wireless repeaters. Hope it works for you the 2 I bought worked great and have a "guest" account you can enable as well.

Cindy, you're advice is the only solution I found to connecting this printer wirelessly, thank you, we had used the printer hard wired for about a year, but wanted to move it across the room, and I couldn't find any mention of how to connect the printer, I had entered the password correctly but didn't realize that I needed to re-enter the access point name manually even though the printer already listed it as an option, this advice was a life saver Also, when switching from direct wired to wireless it's confusing on the computer, even after connecting the printer via the printer control panel, I was still getting an error message saying the printer was offline, and finally figured out that the printer listed in the control panel on the pc, was theoretically a separate printer, the "old" printer, the computer recognizing it as hard wired and seeing it added wirelessly as a new printer, now named in the control panel separately as "Canon MP560 WS" instead of "Canon MP560", but again Windows didn't automatically add the wirelessly connected printer, it had to be added, and looked to be the "old" printer you're advice was most helpful and the only place I saw it listed, no less, but even after clearing the hurdle of setting up the connection on the printer itself, I still had a ways to go

I'm using it with a wired network, but I see no reason why it would not be wireless capable. Call JSM Computers (405) 241-8300. That is were we bought ours.

Yep. Should be able to just plug in the Ethernet cable from the modem to the router and it should be good to go. Make sure you set it up after you get it online. This will save you time down the road if the router decides to activate the wireless dampener. From the first update: After installing this router, my download speed (wireless) went from 15mb/s to 0.5mb/s. After some googling, I found that this router ships with a setting that is enabled, which destroys download speed. After correcting this, download speed increased to 25mb/s. That's why there are so many refurbished units available for purchase. Anyway, do this: 1. Login to your router. If you've never done this, look for instructions that came with your router or do a google search to find the default username and password. 2. Find a page that has QoS settings. For the E1200, you need to click on "Applications & Gaming" and select the "QoS" sub-menu. 3. Disable WMM Support. 4. Click save.

I personally have it set up wireless through my router; but the instruction book states that you can use an USB-Ethernet adaptor and plug it into the USB port in the back of the unit. If you get it, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I have that printer as well and am looking for a wireless solution as well. Did you end up trying this?

You cannot; it is compatible with Honeywell 5800 wireless compatible systems only.

No, just hardware the network or like others have said, use any 3rd party wireless adapter.

I don't know of any way to make it work. There is no sub-out connector. You might find a unit to connect to the wireless function, but I don't know one off hand.

Apparently it's not possible. Also, not possible to connect the MP780 to anything because it uses a USB A connection. No one makes a USB A to A connector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you want to do that? That would defeat the purpose and design of this system. This is strictly an independent wireless stand alone unit. You will be happy with it as is. Good luck.

You can set it up wireless but it has to be hard wired initially to install the firmware

i would research wireless mics, most of them are compatible, and will pick up the signal from the unit.

As far as I know it doesn't not ship with the capability. Expansion wise this computer is limited thus a USB wireless option may have to be utilised.

Call them. The number is in the instructions. They are very helpful and will walk you through the process of setting up the wireless feature. It works like a dream and well worth the trouble.
