Set up a wireless printer, but do not think that it is password protected
Hello
I recently bought the wireless HP Deskjet 3520 printer.
I set up the fine and was able to get my laptop wireless without having to use the USB cord. I can print wireless from laptop, iPhone, etc.
I have a secure WiFi network. During the wireless set up, he never asked me to assign a password to the printer, but when I search networks I see my secure network (which is protected) and the printer that doesn't look like not to protect (it says network in parenthesis).
My questions:
(1) can anyone with a wireless signal, see my printer and send items to him, or is it only the people who have used the password to get on my wireless network?
(2) if the printer is open to the public, how can I go about securing it with a password? I'd rather have a smartphone or tablet should put a password in that to have some edge com be able to print to my printer.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Yes, it is possible that someone in the range of your printer to connect to the printer and send a job if you don't fix your printer or your router with a password. It depends on your neighborhood, I guess.
In your printing wireless configuration, direct wireless is disabled because you need not currently, and impression of your network is secure from intruders outside with the password of your router.
When you enable direct wireless with security, you will be guaranteed of intruders outside with the password of your printer. If you have enabled direct wireless without security, the printer will be open for prints unsolicited since there is no password.

I am trying to set up my wireless printer, and the printer says its is connected to my wireless network, but I can't get my computer to print wireless if I disconnect my regular network and attach the direct wireless network name, which is different and stops my internet to work. How can I get my computer to recognize the printer on my regular wireless network?
Hi @lelg,
I understand that you want to configure the printer on the wireless network. I can help you with this.
Uninstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the printer software.
Restore the default settings of the printer.
Go to Configuration, restore the default values.
Cycle power to the router and the computer.
Run the installer on the printer wireless.
Go to the configuration, Setup, menu wireless network, Wireless Setup Wizard.
Print a configuration page to get the IP address of the printer.
Select the method.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer, then try and access the Web built-in to the printer server. Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the page from the network printer then the printer is on the network.
Download, save, and then run the installation of the software. Color HP LaserJet Pro 200 pilot M276nw MFPS.
Select your operating system, click Next and click on the software to download and install.
Test the printer.
What operating system do you use? How to find the Windows Edition and the Version on your computer.
Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.
Good day!

Hello
Based on the following link, the printer doesn't have a wireless card so you can't use only a router to make wireless unless your router is also a print server, in this case, it is not.
Kind regards.

I want to create a PRIVATE within my site from MUSE section so that it is password protected... many of my clients may not have their information visible to the public
You can not. Without a suitable backend server, that is. This has nothing to do with the creation of the page, it's a technical thing.

MX340 wireless scan but will not print wireless
I had this printer running on Win 8.1 for some time and had never been able to get wireless working. I was delighted when I met recently with the fact that Canon had finally provided drivers for win 8.1 so I installed them. I set up the wireless and has been able to analyze something wireless. I try to print at this time, but later (overnight?) I tried to print and it tells me that the printer is disconnected. It will scan without plugging in to my laptop but it seems to connect properly. The scanner and the printer work with two different wireless connectors?
It's very frustrating because I use the laptop in the House and I could really use the wireless function. It prints without a problem with the usb connection.
Windows 8.1
I tried all versions of the printer I could find available (2), but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I solved my problem by uninstalling all versions of my canon printer and all the drivers and programs that I could find related to these printers and starting from scratch. Not sure what I did differently this time, but I am now able to scan and print wireless. Yes!
Thanks for any help. (took me a while to get to this...)

Connected wireless, printer but not scan
Well I just bought the 120 want wireless printer. It is connected wireless to my Mac. It allows to print but when I try to scan it does not find my computer. I entered the printer utility and selected scanning to computer, but keep the error message it is not communicating with the printer. (Of course, it's because I can print wireless). Is there a solution to this problem. My wife is running windows and it works perfectly for her through the wireless.
I spoke to a representative from HP who went on the site of Apple and downloaded the latest version of the MAC compatible print driver. It took to connect with 4 different representatives of HP to solve the problem. I understand the difficulty, however, I think that technicians need to get on the same page. How one Tech may know exactly what to do, then the 3 others sent me in a different direction? The problem has been resolved so thanks to HP staff.
