Setting up a new printer can sometimes be confusing, especially when you want to connect it to WiFi. If you have a Canon TS3522 and need help getting it connected to your wireless network, the process is fairly simple when you follow the steps in the right order.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to complete the Canon TS3522 WiFi setup from your computer, including downloading the setup software, installing the necessary drivers, selecting your wireless network, and entering your WiFi password.
Before Starting the Canon TS3522 Wireless Setup
Before you begin, turn on your Canon TS3522 printer and place it close to your computer or laptop.
You’ll need access to your WiFi network and its password during the setup. Keeping the printer and computer nearby can also make the initial setup easier.
Step 1: Open the Canon Setup Website
On your computer, open your preferred web browser and visit the official Canon website.
Look for the Setup option on the Canon website. This will take you to the printer setup section.
You’ll see a search box where you can enter your printer model. Type:
TS3522
Then select Go.
The website should take you to the setup page for your specific printer model.
Step 2: Start the Printer Setup
Once you’re on the Canon TS3522 setup page, select Start.
Follow the instructions displayed on your computer. Continue through the setup screens until you reach the option to download the setup software.
Select Download to begin downloading the required software.
Step 3: Download and Install the Setup Software
After the download finishes, open the downloaded setup file.
Depending on your computer’s security settings, you may see a permission window asking whether you want to allow the program to make changes.
If prompted, select Yes to continue.
After the setup program loads, you’ll see the Canon setup wizard.
Select Start Setup to begin the installation process.
Step 4: Install the Required Drivers
The setup wizard will now guide you through the printer installation process.
Select Next when prompted.
The setup program will download and install the drivers needed for your Canon TS3522 to communicate properly with your computer.
Allow the installation to finish before moving to the next step.
You may also see license agreement screens during the installation. Review the information and select the appropriate Agree or Accept option to continue.
Step 5: Select Your WiFi Network
As the setup continues, you’ll eventually reach the Check the Connection Method screen.
Select Yes to proceed with the wireless setup.
The setup program will search for available WiFi networks near your printer.
After a short wait, a list of wireless networks should appear.
Find your WiFi network name in the list and select it. Then click Next.
Make sure you’re selecting the network you actually want your Canon TS3522 to use.
Step 6: Enter Your WiFi Password
After selecting your wireless network, the setup will ask for your WiFi password.
Enter the password carefully.
Remember that WiFi passwords are case sensitive. A single incorrect uppercase or lowercase letter can prevent the printer from connecting.
Once you’ve entered the password, select Next.
The printer will then attempt to connect to your wireless network.
Step 7: Confirm the WiFi Connection
If the setup completes successfully, you’ll see a Connection Completed message on your computer.
This confirms that your Canon TS3522 is connected to WiFi.
Select Next to finish the setup.
Your printer should now be ready for wireless printing from your computer.
