How do I set up a Canon PIXMA G3272 printer on an iPhone?
Answer
Put the Canon G3272 on the same Wi-Fi network as the iPhone, then add it through the Canon PRINT app or iOS Printer settings. Restarting both devices and rerunning wireless setup usually clears discovery failures.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Download the Canon PRINT app only from the official App Store.
Follow these steps
Power-cycle the printer and iPhone
Turn the Canon G3272 off, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on, then restart the iPhone.
You should see: Both devices reboot cleanly and the printer Wi-Fi indicator becomes active or ready for setup.
Connect the printer to Wi-Fi
On the printer, start its wireless setup or Wi-Fi connection mode according to the G3272 panel instructions, and join the same SSID the iPhone uses—not a guest network.
You should see: The printer reports a successful Wi-Fi connection.
Add the printer in Canon PRINT
Install or open the Canon PRINT app, sign in only if required, and run wireless setup or Add printer for the G3272.
You should see: The app discovers the G3272 and can print a nozzle check or test page.
Confirm AirPrint
Open any document or photo on the iPhone, tap Share > Print, and look for the Canon G3272 in the printer list.
You should see: AirPrint lists the printer and completes a test print.

Extra tips
What to look for: Printer Wi-Fi light status, whether the Canon PRINT app finds the G3272, and AirPrint availability under Share > Print.
Before you change anything: Confirm the Wi-Fi password for the same network the iPhone uses. Place the printer close to the router during setup. Avoid guest Wi-Fi networks that block device-to-device discovery. Do not share Apple ID passwords during printer setup.
