We use this printer wirelessly only and print from three different computers. I cannot find how to set it permanently in draft mode. Can anyone help?

Open up a document. Select "print". Select "printer properties". Click the "advanced" tab. Select "output qualities". From the drop down menu, select "fast draft". Click "save". This will now be the default setting. To change it, repeat the above steps.

Are you talking about through Microsoft word? There's a setting you can change through Microsoft word, I wouldn't know about he printer. Also, I can never print black and white from the web, unless I use the system dialogue and set to black ink only(every time)

Set the print mode under printing defaults. Printer properties, Advanced Tab, Printing Defaults button. Once you apply, or save the settings, it will stay that way.

I'm pretty sure it did, it's been a while. But want to warn you it has constant issues with syncing up via wireless. Every time I want to print something wireless I have to shut it off and turn it back on, reboot it essentially. I would seek out a newer model if I were you. It's quite annoying. Hope that helped!

Hi, There is software you install included with the printer (also downloadable on the manufacturer's site). The installer will guide you through setting up the wireless interface so that you can print over your wireless network. I'm not entirely sure that this answers your question, but I hope it helps!

I am a computer professional... and i struggled to get it set up. I had to follow the instructions to the letter in a certain order to make it work. The only way I ever got it set up was to hook it to my laptop, configure the wireless using the desktop software, then unplug it to be a wireless printer. That said, I have used this printer as a workhorse and drug it to many different locations to print and it has done a great copy of printing, scanning, copying and faxing. Very rugged.

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

you have to press the appropriate toggle switch to the corresponding computer you want to print from. It does not seem to detect it automatically.

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE. Yes... you can ONLY print wirelessly... which the guy in the store didn't tell me. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known as I need a printer I can take with me to events and they are not always at places with a wireless signal.Also... even though I have wireless in my home... my printer will NOT print at all when I send the print job to it. The only way i can get it to work is to EMAIL the print job... so it requires extra steps.I've printed with it only about 5 times now... and each time took me more than 30 minutes to try and get it to work. The last time it had numerous paper jams.Other people seem to like theirs... maybe I got a lemon. Missy... I have this printer and it is a NIGHTMARE.

I have mine connected to our network and print to it from everywhere. I think it just depends on your network.

You set it up through settings on the printer. Just read the instructions. Hope this helps. Make sure WIFI is set up on your printer.

Joyce,The printer is truly wireless IF your computers are part of a LAN (local area network). It is across this network that the computers and the "wireless" printer communicate with each other. We have two computers and various other assundry wireless devices all of which have wirless access to the same printer. It is also easy to setup. I hope this helps. Bill

I have never printed wirelessly with mine, and sorry, I don't know if it is set up for that.

there is a way to reset the printer to factory settings, I had to do it a few times when I had this printer. Call HP and ask them for the reset sequence.

I did not have any problems with this printer. I have had with other printers, however. If you are wanting to use the wireless feature, set up is easier if you attach the printer to a networked computer via USB cable and let it use the computer to connect to your wireless router. As far as print head alignment, be sure to use the special paper that came with the printer. If you have tried it all, then I recommend you contact Canon. I love my PIXMA. It's been the best wireless printer I've owned!

At this point in time my printer has gone offline and its to much a hassle to upgrade . I would buy another one already upgraded. By this I mean the operating system I have us outdated I can't print wireless or get it to work . Not even hp tech line could get it to work. Hope that helps , they need to rewrite the program my opinion

I'm not sure, do you have WiFi or a wire connection? When you press print a menu should come up for you to choose a printer.
