Connecting to a printer and printing via Wi-Fi (PowerShot G9 X)

Solution

You can connect your camera to a printer and print using Wi-Fi.
When establishing a wireless connection with a printer, you can either use the camera as an access point (Camera Access Point Mode) or use another access point.
IMPORTANT
  • This camera requires a PrintBridge-compatible printer (supporting DPS over IP) for printing via Wi-Fi.
  • Procedures for connecting the camera to a printer via Wi-Fi are explained below. For more information on printer-specific Wi-Fi settings, please refer to the printer’s instruction manual.
NOTE

To connect using another access point, please refer to Sending images to a computer (Wi-Fi function)(PowerShot G9 X).
