You probably don't need to delete and uninstall stuff. However, I just purchased this printer and went through the wireless setup. It found my SSID and then I entered the encryption key. It told me it successfully connected to my network yet on my PC it does not show up. The first wireless printer I bought last year from a different company. Unlike this it was easy to setup. I guess it would have been easy had the procedure worked......

I am using this printer with a mac and pc both are hard wired and I am have no problems. If you are running wireless I can not help you

Don't despair. I have a home wired network running only apple computers. I got the printer networked for the wired computers and a MacBook Pro. The driver you need is just the PostScript driver from the Printer site on Canon USA. If you are just using USB it is easy. Once you download the driver it will appear in the long menu of print drivers at Canon LBP6670ps. Use this one instead of generic print driver. Networking is a little tricky for Apple. I'm not an IT person but I figured it out. The printer has to generate an IP address for itself. It is shipped with the networking turned off. On the control button on the top of the printer you need to get into the networking menu and turn some things on. The e-manual gives information on turning on DHCP. Once it is set up it works very well.

If you have a network set up, any computer hooked up to that can print to it w/out bring directly connected. It's been a while since I've used this printer, but I don't think it's truly wireless. (It is a great printer though, I bought several for work.)

No, you need to have a wireless router for the printer to work via wireless.

I too am waiting on this answer before I make a purchase. I was told that all wireless printers have the option to turn off the wireless but want to be certain of that. Can somebody please comment on this?

Sue,You are incorrect. The printer can print USB, but like most printers for the last decade it does not include a USB cable (about $3 on Amazon if you can't find one at your house).Printing by USB is identical to printing wireless and you are not required to email the documents. It is just a different way of connecting the printer. Of course, a wireless connection also allows multiple computers to send print jobs at once. If you are printing strictly by email you are completely lost and confused. I would suggest you ask a more tech sauvy friend of yours to help out. The email "feature" you are referring to is for when you are away from your computer at home and want to email a document to be printed over the internet. Sue,You are incorrect.

Yes you can, as long as your printer is configured to connect to your local network, either wired (with Ethernet cable) or with the wireless option. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/printers/desktop_printers/photo_inkjet_printers/pixma_pro_100#Specifications

Although I connect mine wirelessly, there is a port on back of the printer to hardwire connect via USB directly to your computer, otherwise you must have a wireless router.

No, internet not required but you will need a wireless router connected to your computer to send the wifi signal to the printer if you want a wireless connection. If you don't want or need it to be wireless, you can hook it up to your computer with a usb cable that connects to your printer. The printer has a special plug in port for this purpose, and is not a standard usb port, instead it is one made for canon printers....easy to find.

This printer features an ethernet connection, meaning it can be networked and used by multiple computers. If you are using the USB connection, you would need to connect it to a print server for sharing.I recommend the networked option. The guide should include a walkthrough for setting it up.

No, this is not a wireless printer. But it's a great Printer, built like a tank. I've been using a IP6600D for 10 years and it's never failed to work. Prints great photos. I also have a IP6700D printer, it's just the latest version of the IP6600D. I just notice the above post about printing wirelessly from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone, or a compatible Bluetooth device using the optional USB Bluetooth adapter on the IP6700D Printer. I wasn't aware that the adapter was available for the IP6700D printer.

If you switched routers, you're basically on a new network. I would try hooking the printer up USB and re-installing it as a wireless printer, even though you have the cable attached. That usually works. Just follow the prompts for wireless setup via temporary usb. HTH

When you install the printer you will set it up based on the connection type, either usb or wifi or ethernet. You can set up the printer more then one way and just pick the printer when you need it.

I purchased mine wired only. I believe they do sell a model that is wired and wireless but that is an extra cost. You can print from Apple devices using the Hp ePrint service (uses the cloud) or by using the free HP printing applications available in the Apple App Store. I have had success with both in the past but don't use them often.

No to "can the printer be connected to the network wirelessly." It has to be connected with an ethernet cable to your router.ie. printer---cable---router is how it is connected.Great printer though.
