Canon printers offer connection in either USB or Wireless mode. In most cases, USB mode is a preferred mode of connection, but if you want to share the printer over the network and print wirelessly, Wireless mode is a better choice.

The steps to connect your Canon printer to Wi-Fi depend upon the model of the printer. For printers with LCD screens, you’re able to easily make the configuration from the LCD control panel. While for all other models, you can use Canon’s official setup tool to connect them to Wi-Fi.
