If you are looking for a solution to connect your Canon Mg3600 printer to your network, there are a few different options that you can try. These options include installing the Canon IJ Network tool, setting up WPS, and uninstalling your printer.
Installing the Canon IJ Network tool
Canon IJ Network Tool is a small utility that allows you to control your Canon printer’s network settings. This tool can be used on Windows and Mac OS X. It is free to download and install.
The tool allows you to set up a wireless LAN connection for your printer. You can also change other networking settings. Before using this tool, you will need to install the printer on your computer. If you have any other devices connected to the printer, you will need to remove them before proceeding.
The initial screen will ask you to type in a password. After you enter a password, the printer will begin searching for a wireless network. Once it finds a network, it will display the name of the network.
Next, it will search for a printer on the network. In some cases, the extended survey program will take a few minutes to find the correct printer. If it does not find the printer, you will need to click redetect.
In this step, you will also have to select a language. Once you have done this, you will be able to print a test page to make sure that your printer is working.
The Canon IJ Network tool will then open a configuration dialog. In the options, you can choose a printer model and PPD file to specify.

Setting up WPS
If you are looking to connect your Canon MG3600 printer to your wireless network, be sure to check out our WPS setup guide. If you have any questions, be sure to contact our friendly support staff. We can help you set up your printer and get you up and running in no time.
The first step in the WPS setup process is to plug your printer into your router. Next, you need to download and install the appropriate software. If you are on the go, you might want to enlist the assistance of a buddy. This will ensure that you don’t waste your LAN’s bandwidth. It is also worth checking to see if your router supports WPS by default. You might be surprised that a lot of your printer-compatible computers already come pre-configured with the protocol.
To complete the task, you will need to make sure that you have at least a few hours to spare. If your Wi-Fi connection is spotty, you may be best off connecting to a more reliable router. For the sake of your sanity, you should probably avoid using your router at night. Thankfully, this is a small price to pay for the benefits of wireless printing. Of course, you can always connect via a wired connection if your network router has a spare port.

Uninstalling the printer
When it comes to the Canon MG3600 printer, you are surrounded by a sea of information. Fortunately, you can pick and choose the information you need. There are two ways to go about uninstalling the Canon MG3600.
The ol’ fashioned method involves connecting the printer to the computer using a USB cable. However, you may also use a WiFi connection. You’ll need to ensure that the printer is powered on and connected to the router.
Uninstalling the Canon MG3600 is no small feat. While the printer is on your system, it is likely that you have installed a number of drivers. For example, you may have installed the XPS printer driver. In order to remove it, you will need to first uninstall the other drivers.
The best part is that the process is relatively painless. All you need to do is follow a few simple steps and you will be back in business.
To start, you will want to download the driver from the company’s website. Be sure to select the correct version for your operating system. If the process fails, you can always rely on Windows’ built in driver uninstall tool.
Next, you will want to get ahold of the printer’s control panel. This can be done by opening System and Preferences.
