Setting up the Canon PIXMA TR4755i with a USB connection is a simple way to connect the printer directly to a computer. A USB connection can be useful when you prefer a wired connection instead of setting up the printer over Wi-Fi.
This guide explains how to connect and set up the Canon PIXMA TR4755i printer with a USB cable on a computer.
1. Turn On the Canon PIXMA TR4755i
Place the printer close enough to your computer for the USB cable to reach comfortably.
Press the Power button to turn on the printer and wait for it to finish starting up.
Make sure there are no error messages displayed on the printer before continuing.
2. Prepare the USB Connection
Use a compatible USB printer cable with the appropriate connector for your computer.
Keep the USB cable disconnected until the printer setup software asks you to connect it, if the setup instructions on your computer require this.
This helps the installation software correctly detect the printer during setup.
3. Install the Canon Printer Software
On your computer, download the appropriate setup software and drivers for the Canon PIXMA TR4755i.
Choose the software for your operating system and follow the installation instructions displayed on the screen.
During setup, select the option for a USB connection when you are asked how you want to connect the printer.
4. Connect the USB Cable
When the setup program asks you to connect the printer:
- Connect the USB cable to the printer’s USB port.
- Connect the other end of the cable to your computer.
- Make sure both connections are secure.
- Wait while the computer detects the printer.
The setup software should recognize the Canon PIXMA TR4755i and continue the installation.
5. Complete the Printer Installation
Continue following the instructions shown by the Canon setup software.
The installation may take a few moments while the required drivers and printer software are installed.
When the setup is complete, you should be able to select the Canon PIXMA TR4755i from your computer’s list of available printers.
6. Print a Test Page
After installation, print a test page to confirm that the USB connection is working correctly.
Open a document or photo on your computer and select Print.
Choose the Canon PIXMA TR4755i from the list of printers and start the print job.
If the printer produces the page correctly, the USB setup is complete.
7. Set the Canon PIXMA TR4755i as the Default Printer
If you use this printer regularly, you can set it as your computer’s default printer.
On Windows, open Settings and go to the printer settings. Find the Canon PIXMA TR4755i and select it as the default printer if your version of Windows provides that option.
On a Mac, open System Settings and select Printers & Scanners. Select the Canon PIXMA TR4755i and set it as the default printer if required.
The exact menu names can vary depending on your operating system version.
Troubleshooting USB Setup Problems
The computer does not detect the printer
Make sure the USB cable is firmly connected at both ends. Try another USB port on the computer if one is available.
You can also restart the printer and computer and then try the setup again.
The printer appears offline
Check the USB connection and make sure the Canon PIXMA TR4755i is turned on.
If the printer still appears offline, remove and reconnect the printer through your computer’s printer settings or reinstall the Canon printer software.
The USB cable does not fit
Make sure you are using a compatible USB printer cable with the correct connector for the printer and computer. Do not force a connector into a port.
The printer was connected before installing the software
If the printer was already connected when you started the installation, the setup program may not detect it correctly. Disconnect the USB cable, restart the setup process, and reconnect the printer when the software instructs you to do so.
Final Thoughts
Setting up the Canon PIXMA TR4755i with USB provides a direct connection between your printer and computer. Once the correct Canon software is installed and the USB cable is connected, you can print documents and photos directly from your computer.
If the printer is not detected during setup, check the USB cable, try another USB port, restart both devices, and run the Canon setup software again.
