Canon 70D and wireless Printing

Has anyone got this down ? I cant for the life of me get this to work. I was trying to connect to the HP 8600 and or Pixma Pro-100. It doesn't see them. Any suggestion would be great. Can't find any info online.

Are you connecting directly to the PRO-100 or via an access point? Can you see other units on the network? Does the camera connect to a computer via the same physical connection?

I'm trying to go threw my network to the printer. I haven't tried going from camera to printer directly. I can see my computer w/o issues and my TV. Any suggestions?

I think you need to turn the wireless on, on the camera and then connect the printer to your camera.

I swear there was a video on canons site or Youtube showing how to do this.

Is the printer connected to the network via cable or WiFi?

Its Wi-fi right now. I did have it plugged in directly to the router.

I've had som issue where a Canon printing application didn't see a Canon printer that was connected through cable to the network. For some peculiar reason.

No, I don't have any real suggestion, just asking some questions to poke around and see if there's something which could be a problem. I don't have any 70D, so I haven't tried this myself. And my Ethernet/WiFi compatible cameras don't support printing that way, only via USB.

There is the full online manual for WiFi

Turn on WiFi on the camera
Set it up

Select camera access point mode


Setup the printer to connect to the camera WIFI "NOT YOUR HOME WIFI"

Starts on page 45.

Which in that case is the opposite of what you normally want to do, since the printer would in any normal case already be connected to your normal network.

If this is really necessary I just wonder how much sake they consumed they day they figured this out?

Ok, so i would need to disco the printer from the network can do a direct connect from printer to camera. Is there no way to go threw the network?

BTW, my Pro-100 doesn't have a play to select a network. I think the HP does but not 100% sure.

From what I see no.

Think of the camera as your wireless Router. and DSL etc. It is what you are using to connect the phone app, printer, other cameras for photo sharing to.

The camera its self is a "hotspot" to it self.

I don't see a way to get the camera to connect to your home network at this point.

Printer must support PictBridge "wireless LAN"

Does look like you can upload to Facebook, Twitter etc from the camera. Looking into seeing how that works if it doesn't see my network.

I can do facebook and flickr w/o issues. I can use my network to get to the computer but just not the printer. I also can't turn on my camera as an access point and make the P-100 to connect. This is not really a big deal but I'm just learning the features it has.
