..'cause you be soo gullible... ;^>

Guess I have to find out how the guts work; just naively figured:
'Airport' be an RF transceiver; ditto in modrin gussied-up 'printer/fax/scan/coffee' makers.
Why the failure t'communicate?

(Then there's Bluetooth: yan transceiver. That's TWO! WTF need we a Third gadget, with all this built-in comm stuff?)
I mean.. we're talking a few feet here. A few microvolts/m.

It's pretty, it's tiny ... costs ~same as my 38# PRINTER! (Profit much?)
Seems to be an AP -- but why isn't That a-part-of this alleged 'wireless' USB printer ??
By that def'n: ANY USB-printer is "wireless" !? (I must be missing something.)
Guess Canon omitted its own 'access point' == so it IS as much a' wireless-printer' as any other USB-printer.
Bloody marketing-speak lies.

{sigh} Thanks for tip; looks like I have to use the gear next needed for the HS-link, probably access printer via router.
But sure like the teensy Apple solution, however costly VS the industrial-grade-ugly of most.
