Setting up your Canon PIXMA TS8320 doesn’t have to be confusing. Whether you just took it out of the box or are trying to get it to print wirelessly, this guide will walk you through the whole process — from Wi-Fi setup to installing drivers and solving common problems — in simple, friendly steps.
1. Connecting Your PIXMA TS8320 to Wi-Fi
One of the best things about the TS8320 is how easily it connects to Wi-Fi. Once it’s set up, you can print straight from your phone, tablet, or laptop — no cables needed.
Here’s how to connect it:
Turn on the printer.
On the touchscreen, tap Setup → Wi-Fi Settings → Wireless LAN Setup.
Choose Easy Wireless Connect.
Open the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY app on your phone (available on Android and iOS).
Follow the steps in the app — it’ll find your printer and help you connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
When the Wi-Fi symbol on the screen turns solid, your printer is successfully connected. You’re ready to print wirelessly!
💡 Tip: Keep your printer close to your router during setup for a stronger, more stable signal.
2. Installing the Printer Driver
To make your printer work smoothly with your computer, you’ll need the correct driver — think of it as the translator that helps your computer “talk” to your printer.
Here’s what to do:
Go to IJ Start Cannon Page.
Search for PIXMA TS8320.
Download the latest driver for your operating system (Windows or macOS).
Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
When asked how you want to connect, choose Wireless Connection if your printer is already on Wi-Fi. The installer will detect it automatically.
🧠 Pro Tip: Always use the newest driver version to avoid bugs or compatibility issues after system updates.
3. Printing from Your Phone or Tablet
The TS8320 plays nicely with mobile devices. You can use Canon PRINT App, Apple AirPrint, Mopria (Android), or even Google Cloud Print for direct wireless printing.
To print from your phone:
Make sure your device and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Open the photo or document you want to print.
Tap Share → Print → Select Printer (TS8320).
Choose paper size, layout, and how many copies you want.
Tap Print — and you’re done!
4. Fixing Common Problems
Even good printers sometimes act up. Here are a few quick solutions for the most common issues with the TS8320:
Problem What’s Going On How to Fix It
Printer not showing up on Wi-Fi Weak signal or wrong network Reconnect using Easy Wireless Connect, restart your router
Driver won’t install Outdated OS or old drivers Uninstall any old Canon software, restart your computer, and try again
Print job stuck System glitch Cancel all jobs, restart both printer and computer
Colors look weird or faded Low ink or clogged nozzles Run the printhead cleaning tool in the maintenance menu
Paper jam Misaligned or dusty paper feed Gently remove paper, clean rollers, and reload properly
⚙️ Tip: If you don’t print often, do a nozzle check every few weeks to keep ink from drying in the printhead.
5. Keeping Your Printer in Good Shape
A little care goes a long way in keeping your TS8320 working perfectly.
Print something at least once a week to keep the ink flowing.
Update the firmware through Canon’s app when prompted.
Use original Canon ink for the best color quality and fewer clogs.
Keep it clean — wipe the surface and scanner glass with a soft cloth.
Final Thoughts
The Canon PIXMA TS8320 is more than just a sleek home printer — it’s designed to make your daily printing easier and smarter. Once it’s connected to Wi-Fi and the driver’s installed, you can print from anywhere in the house. And if problems pop up, most of them can be solved with a quick reset or cleaning.
With a bit of regular care, your TS8320 will stay fast, reliable, and ready to bring your photos and documents to life whenever you need it.
