Ok.... Now I am confused! So you need a USB cord with it? Is that for set up? Is this printer a wireless printer or not?

You can print from both options WiFi or USB cable.... but I do believe on setup it does ask you to use USB cable...

It requires a USB cable; make sure you get the right fittings (the one that fits the printer is square or nearly square). When I called Canon, I was told that the printer HAS to have a cable, it cannot operate wirelessly. I do not understand why Canon doesn't supply a cable with the printer, or at least put in large letters on the box "REQUIRED USB CABLE NOT INCLUDED."

This is NOT a wifi or bluetooth capable printer. A usb connection is required.

Yes you need a USB cord pluged in to your computor or lap top if you want to print from there you don't need to be hooked up to anything if you want to make copies only hope this helps it is not a wireless printer'

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.

No this is not a wireless printer. However connect it to a wireless router and your all set. Love the printer have one for home and one in my office.

I've had this printer for a long time. I can't remember whether or not it came with a USB cord. On the other hand, I didn't just have spare USB cords just sitting around and still don't, so I suspect it came in the package.

Yes, you can print using WiFi or USB. I use Wi-Fi and it's fantastic! Make sure your printer has WiFi or else you'll need to use USB

No, you can use the printer either with the USB port or wireless. Which ever is easier for you. Jack F

Yes, wirelessly or with a cord. I was in a hurry so I just took away my old HP printer and re-used the same cord for this one. So if yours didn't come with a white usb cord, they are easy to find.

If you lack a wireless router you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, or to a wired network with an Ethernet cable. And, of course, it supports the earlier wireless "B" and "G" standards if you have an older wireless router which doesn't support "N".

i don't know because the printer is attached to a Windows laptop, but the person who uses the printer says it works perfectly well except that he needed to purchase a USB that didn't come with printer

No. This is a wired printer. You must have a USB printer cable in order to connect this machine to your computer.

No, it is not a wireless printer. The same type of printer as wireless is the 4880 model.

My guess is no as the printer is not wireless and uses a USB cable for connection to the computer.

This printer is not a wireless printer. It can only be hooked up using a USB cable.

You're typical printer to usb cable, flat rectangle one end, squarish on the other. Just type in Printer USB cable. You can also hook this us to your router and have it on the network (that's what I did).

Mine didn't come with one and most printers do not include this cord. You can use one from an old printer but you can also set it up for wireless without needing to use a usb cord.
