Yes, the Canon Inkjet Cloud Printing Center is a specific service for remote printing and app management. Standard wireless printing to your home network does not require it.
For basic wireless printing:
- Connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network using the standard setup process (WPS button or via USB during initial driver installation).
- Install the standard Canon printer drivers on your computer or mobile device.
- You can then print directly over your local network.
The Cloud Printing Center is only needed if you want features like:
- Printing from anywhere over the internet.
- Setting up multiple users (Administrator/Standard) for one printer.
- Limiting which apps (like Evernote, Facebook) specific users or groups can access from the printer.
Heads up: If you are trying to use the Cloud Printing Center and didn't get a registration email, check your spam folder and ensure you entered the correct email address during printer setup.
