How To Get Your Canon Pixma MG3620 Onto Your Network

Bought the Canon Pixma MG3620 printer. Installed all of the software and followed what I thought was instructions to install the Canon Pixma MG3620 printer to my network. After 4 hours of frustration trying to find some program “ij network scan”, I did what worked back at the office. Used the cell phone.
No I didn’t call someone who knows more. I connected through my phone to see what options I could utilize. on the plus side, I never had to do all of that. Set up for the phone did it all for me.
Don’t use a USB cable to set up your printer. You’ll be stubbornly clicking through all of the settings to find where you can type in your router passkey information.
Don’t bother plugging the USB cable into your Comcast modem. Doesn’t work.
That Canon Pixma MG3620 printer just won’t do any of that

The trick is to use your android or apple device. Install the canon Print Inkjet Selphy app.
Click through the setup to the point where it asks if you want to set up directly or through your router.
Select “Connect Via Wireless Router”.

after that it will ask you the password to your router.

Once the password is accepted you are done.

You can do the same by using a wireless pc,tablet,laptop.
Don’t bother using a usb cable. that just makes things more complicated. and that IJ network scan tool is useless once your

Testing Windows 7 on a Work Environment

Day 1

Splash screen

Splash screen

screen two of install

task bar and full install background
We use an Intell(R) Pentium(R) p4 2.81 GHZ with 1.5 G Memory

Stats/Specs
Full format deleted all partitions Let 7 control partitions
Our install of course was the 32 bit version of Win7
First install screen

Splash Screen says Windows(R) 7 Ultimate, that was free one year from Microsoft’s(R) website. Thanks guys. We appreciate that.
Boot up was fast , about 17 seconds.
3 printers and one plotter on the network.
We have the goal to test all drivers and handling of certain used machines.
At first boot we saw all printers, but when we started the test page to print, there was no printers in the list.
We are now manually installing drivers. Last we tried with vista, the drivers would not install. with seven The Gestetner 525 installed within seconds. Smooth. We now go back and try the Lanier LD122. Next will be Ricoh Aficio mp w2400 Plotter copier

Ricoh Printer. Server Driver spoiling, is not an option , finds drivers on the server and installs them. Be sure and install the drivers. Twain untested as of yet. Scanner issues will come.
Test page 1 on Gestetner now. print was good on Gestetner.

printed one test page on netwrok win7

printed one test page on network win7

Testing windows 7 printing color

Testing windows 7 printing color

We have now consumed 10 gigs of storage. So far we have not installed anything Except printer Drivers

Windows typical keystrokes working as we try.
Loading Symantec Endpoint 11 Work Station Virus Scanner and Firewall To test compatibilities.
noted incompatibility issues, we selected “install anyway”. . So far no prompt for install and no shortcut in quick launch for Symantec, nothing in programs area either, it has been 7 minutes since we started . We are restarting manually to see if we get a boot error.
after reboot, no sign of Symantec.
They did make it clear that Symantec was made for Win Xp, Win 7 is x86/32 bit
Offered to check solutions online, Note is “no solution found” Incompatible. Now we try the 64 bit version of Symantec to see if there is a difference.
Right off we get the “ehh dude, it might not work, doesn’t work for anyone else” notice.
This time it did create the directory for symantec, but quickly uninstalled it. and said that it was interrupted and nothing was modified.

Next we try installing Symantec Server sbe11

More testing to come throughout the week. We want this on our work machines pretty bad. Interesting point, Win7 Identified that the version we have we got from the symantec website, even though it said we had compatibility issues. hmm odd.
Over the next few days we will check Symantec’s site for help on the issue/matter.
We do find a help saying “copy to desktop, run lusetup.exe, reboot, run setup.exe” and all should be good ?????
Maybe ???? Tomorrow we will see.

We install Mozilla Fire Fox 3.0.10 , No Thunderbird today.
good , no notice of compatibility issues. We import nothing, because explorer is a clean install. FF as default.
Install is fine. Fire fox is running well. No issues.

Day one is complete, next tests tomorrow, More writing.

Day Two of Windows 7 Workplace Test.
