how do i get alexa to tell me when my canon pixma tr8620a is low on ink? i set it up but it's not talking to me.

The printer's Wi-Fi connection to your network is required for Alexa integration.

Diagnosis steps:

  1. Confirm the printer is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Alexa device.
  2. Open the Alexa app on your phone. Navigate to 'Skills & Games'.
  3. Search for and enable the official 'Canon' skill. Follow the in-app linking steps to discover your TR8620a printer.
  4. Grant permissions for ink level alerts.

If that didn't work:

  • Restart your Wi-Fi router, then restart the printer.
  • Re-link the Canon skill in the Alexa app. The feature requires stable Wi-Fi; disconnections will disable alerts.

Note: This integration is for ink level alerts only. It cannot initiate print jobs via voice.
