If you're encountering issues setting up a direct connection (either USB or Wi-Fi) for your Canon TS3460 printer, here are the most common technical problems and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve them.
1. USB Connection Issues
Problem: If you're trying to connect the printer directly to your computer via USB and it's not being recognized, this could be caused by hardware issues, driver problems, or incorrect settings.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
USB Cable or Port Issue:
Make sure you're using a good quality USB cable and that it is properly connected at both ends (printer and computer).
Test the USB cable with another device to ensure it's functioning.
Try using different USB ports on your computer, as some ports may be faulty or not provide enough power for the printer.
Driver Installation:
Ensure that the correct drivers are installed. If you're having trouble with the driver installation, refer to the previous troubleshooting steps to reinstall the driver.
