My Canon Selphy Won't Connect To My Phone
As a proud owner of a Canon Selphy printer, you might be experiencing some issues connecting it to your smartphone. This can be frustrating, especially when you need to print important documents or photos. In this article, we will discuss some troubleshooting tips to help you resolve the issue and get your Canon Selphy printer connected to your phone.
Check Your Wi-Fi Connection
The first thing you need to do when your Canon Selphy won't connect to your phone is to check your Wi-Fi connection. Make sure that both your phone and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If they are not connected to the same network, your phone won't be able to find the printer.
If your phone is not connected to Wi-Fi, turn on Wi-Fi and connect to the same network as your printer. If your printer is not connected to Wi-Fi, check the printer's manual for instructions on how to connect it to Wi-Fi. You can also check the printer's settings to make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and that it is connected to the correct network.
Restart Your Devices
If you have checked your Wi-Fi connection and your Canon Selphy still won't connect to your phone, try restarting both your phone and printer. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix connectivity issues. Turn off your phone and printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn them back on. Once they are back on, try connecting your phone to the printer again.
Check Printer Settings
If restarting your devices didn't work, check the printer's settings to make sure that it is set up correctly. Go to the printer's settings and check the Wi-Fi network settings. Make sure that the printer is connected to the correct network and that the network name and password are correct. If the network settings are correct, check the printer's Bluetooth settings. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and that your phone is paired with the printer.
Update Your Printer's Firmware
If your Canon Selphy still won't connect to your phone, it might be because the printer's firmware is outdated. Check the Canon website for any available firmware updates. Download and install the firmware update on your printer. Once the update is installed, try connecting your phone to the printer again.

If you have tried all of the above troubleshooting tips and your Canon Selphy still won't connect to your phone, it might be time to contact Canon support. Canon support can help you diagnose the issue and provide you with solutions to fix the problem. You can contact Canon support via phone, email, or live chat.
