Linda, USB cable comes with the unit!

    What I think she is talking about is, she is wanting to connect to the modem with a cat5 cable, if she has a wireless router the ports on the back are for cat5 , the Canon mg2500 comes with a USB cable which is fine if she has the old desktop computer.

SOURCE: wireless hookup mp620 without computer

You cannot connected to a computer through Bluetooth. You can use their usb based bluetooth to connect the printer to other devices like your camera or camcorder.

SOURCE: Instead of using a usb

You could purchase a ethernet print server which will allow you to connect your printer to the router via ethernet cable. I recommend the TPLink TL-PS110U. I use this for one of the printers in my office.

Alternatively, you could purchase the TPLink
TL-WPS510U. This is a wireless print server. It will give you some freedom if you wish to locate your printer to somewhere other than beside your router.

How to connect to PC again?

Hi Elizabeth

There are a couple of ways to connect:
  1. Run a USB cable from the printer to your PC. You'll need one of the interconnect- type cables that looks like the end of a thumb drive on one end and has a square-ish plug on the other.
  2. Bring the printer up on a wireless network: The printers don't generally support ad-hoc wireless connections (i.e. direct from your laptop), so you'll want to handshake the system with your wireless router. The menus will take you through setting up the necessary passwords. Be careful here - the printer will only handshake across a limited number of encryption protocols, so you'll want to look at your manual for the particulars.
  3. In either case, you'll need to download printer drivers, or (re)install them to your PC. in order to be able to take advantage of the printer capabilities. The Canon site for manuals, drivers, and software is here:
https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/inkjet-multifunction/mg-series-inkjet/mg7120/!ut/p/z1/hZBNU4MwEEB_i4ceQ1ZQWryl1A44RKfVqZiLA50QopAwIcjorzdYL37Vve3u29m3ixnOMVPFixSFlVoVjcsfWPhIN8kiSWPIbtb-JRB6t8tokAawDfH9fwBzbfgjCOCrD-DIvDPwDY2pwKwrbI2kqjTOOyOV5abHuVTPT9yidmisrAa1n8Rx3grUcyN5jw79qTI_9cH5sq8bYRvNgYSrMImul5Buzn8Au-WZA6JVHPjryfoTOH6UaHR5-B9RZbBw9oZX3HDjDcaVa2u7_mIGMxjH0RNai4Z7e93-NlDr3vl_47o2f8tIdZsiVr6O5OQd9oXEGQ!!/dz/d5/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/?color=Red
There are some decent utilities there for being able to run scans that dump right to your computer and the like.

Good Luck!

You wouldnt not as long as you have a wireless router hooked up so the printer can communicate with your pc. If you dont have wireless router then yes you would need wire. Even though printer is wireless it has to communicate wirelessly with something..

Can I connect my canon mp240 printer by wireless

The Canon Pixma MP240 canot be connected to a router wirelessly. You could buy a USB printer hub which would allow you to connect your printer to a wireless router. Basically, the printer would connect to the hub over USB, the hub would connect to your router over the netowrk cable, and this would allow you to connect to the printer wirelessly.
