My PC and printer are connected to a wifi router operating in the bridge mode. This router is in turn connected to a central router (operating in normal mode) through a LAN cable.

Both Printer and PC have the same default gateway (192.168.1.1) and different IP addresses (PC on 192.168.1.104 and Printer on 192.168.1.111). I can ping the printer as well from the PC.

But I cannot connect to the printer. Neither does it show in the list of network devices. What am I doing wrong? My PC is running Windows 10 and printer is Canon Pixma MX410.

  • Can you use the Canon software to find the printer on your network, rather than relying on Windows to find it?

Is your printer connected directly to your PC?
Apparently, Canon does not support bridged networks on your computer.
Their solution is to disable the network-bridge on your computer.
