Printer help request from Wakefield
I have a canon mp560 wireless printer
I have an android phone

Check on google play for a printer app to suit the Canon MP560 and download it if there is one.
The printer and phone then need to be connected to the PC as well and make sure that you can print from the PC forst. It is best to use the disc that
came with the printer to do that.
Good luck.

wasnt much point on my part posting a help request if I didnt check for a reply. Thanks anyway.
I have got a USB cable for it... somewhere. At least I did once upon a time. Maybe I left it at wakefield last year. At home the printer is on
wireless, once a year it goes for a ride. And as is Murphy's Law, just as I was ready to print the last few things and go, the printer completely ran
out of ink (yep I was ignoring all the warnings). No worries I will get ink from woolies on the way and print at goulburn... but then I couldnt find
the cable. It was after 6:30 and JB hifi had closed, nearest officeworks is 1/2 away in the wrong direction. It was the perfect storm, but struggled
through with hand writing and writers cramp.
