Canon Pixma TS3322 Wireless Setup
The Canon Pixma TS3322 is a simple home inkjet, but getting it onto Wi‑Fi the first time can feel confusing because the printer has only a few buttons and relies on a specific pairing sequence. The good news is that once you connect it properly, the TS3322 stays stable and works well with laptops and phones. This guide walks through every setup method—WPS, standard “cableless” setup, and mobile app pairing—and includes fixes for blinking lights, “printer not found,” and offline errors.
Before You Start
Make sure your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network. The TS3322 does not support 5 GHz. If your router uses a single SSID for both 2.4 and 5 GHz, it's often helpful to temporarily split them during setup so the printer clearly joins 2.4 GHz. Place the printer within one room of the router for the initial connection. Have your Wi‑Fi name (SSID) and password ready, and disable VPN on your computer or phone while pairing.
Reset Any Previous Network Settings
If this printer has been connected before—or you changed routers—clear old Wi‑Fi details first. Hold the Stop button until the alarm light flashes 15 times, then release. Wait about 30 seconds. This resets the wireless memory so new credentials will be accepted cleanly.
Method 1: WPS Push‑Button Setup
WPS is the fastest option if your router supports it.
- Press and hold the Wireless Connect button on the TS3322 until the wireless lamp starts flashing.
- Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
- Wait for the wireless light to stop blinking and stay solid. That means the printer joined Wi‑Fi.
If WPS fails twice, don’t keep retrying. Many mesh systems disable WPS, and some routers require enabling it in settings. Use Method 2 instead.
Method 2: Canon “Cableless Setup” with Software
Canon's installer can send Wi‑Fi details directly to the printer.
1) Download the Canon TS3300 series setup package from Canon support. 2) Run the installer and choose Wireless LAN Connection. 3) Select Cableless setup. 4) When prompted, press and hold the printer’s wireless button until the light blinks. 5) The installer will detect the printer, ask you to choose your SSID, and send the password to the TS3322.
If the installer cannot find the printer, connect a USB cable temporarily when it asks. The setup tool uses USB only to transmit Wi‑Fi credentials; you can unplug it afterward.
Method 3: Setup with the Canon PRINT App
On iPhone, iPad, or Android, install Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY. Tap Add Printer > Set Up, then follow the on‑screen steps. The app may ask you to join a temporary Canon_ij network broadcast by the printer. Accept the prompt, enter your Wi‑Fi password in the app, and wait while it transfers credentials. Once the app confirms success, your TS3322 will rejoin your home Wi‑Fi.
Add the TS3322 on Windows
After the printer is on Wi‑Fi, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners and click Add device. Choose Canon TS3300 series when it appears. If Windows doesn't find it, add by IP using the address shown on your router’s device list. Install the Canon driver from the TS3300 series package so you get maintenance tools and correct paper profiles.
Add the TS3322 on macOS
On a Mac, open System Settings > Printers & Scanners and click the plus sign. Select the TS3322 when it appears as a Bonjour printer, and set Use to the Canon driver. If it does not appear, add it by IP (IPP protocol) with the printer’s address. Once added, run a test print and a quick scan (if your model includes scanning) to confirm two‑way communication.
Mobile Printing After Setup
Once connected, iOS devices can print via AirPrint from any app using Share > Print. Android devices can print through Canon PRINT or Mopria/Default Print Service. If you don't see the printer in AirPrint, confirm your phone is on the same Wi‑Fi and disable any VPN or Private Relay temporarily.
Fixing Common Connection Problems
Wireless light keeps blinking: The printer didn’t accept credentials. Re‑run setup and double‑check the password. Printer not found in software: Ensure your computer/phone is on the same 2.4 GHz network; guest networks block discovery. Offline after a day: Reserve a DHCP address for the TS3322 in your router so its IP doesn’t change. WPA3‑only router: Switch security to WPA2 or mixed WPA2/WPA3 for compatibility.
Maintenance Check After Connecting
Run a Nozzle Check from the Canon utility. If black or color lines are missing, perform Cleaning once and recheck. Print a couple of text pages to prime the ink channels. Keeping the printer in sleep (rather than fully off) helps it run small maintenance cycles and stay ready on Wi‑Fi.
Quick Checklist
- Use a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network and keep the printer close during setup.
- Reset old network data if reconnecting.
- Connect via WPS, Canon cableless setup, or the Canon PRINT app.
- Install Canon TS3300 series drivers on Windows/macOS.
- Reserve the printer IP to avoid offline problems.
Follow these steps and your Canon Pixma TS3322 should join Wi‑Fi cleanly and stay available for printing from every device in your home.
