Printer help.

I recently had to buy a new laptop which has Windows 10. I do find it difficult after Windows 7, but will get there.
It works fine with my plusnet unlimited fibre broadband.
However, I bought my 1st wifi enabled printer yesterday, a Canon Pixma mg 3650.
I followed the instructions and downloaded everything from the Canon website via wifi, I did not use the software cd.
I have the printer wifi on, but cannot print via wifi, only via a connected usb. Nor can I print from my Samsung smart phone.
Any advice for a thicky please?

Especially the wi-fi ones.

Sorry if these sound like silly questions but can you explain what you have done so far according to the instructions on the Canon website?
Have you put the Wi-Fi password into the printer? Have you enabled printer sharing on your computer (if needed?). Are you getting any error messages when trying to print?

I have now managed to rectify my printer problem.
Many thanks to the reply which asked if I had programmed the wifi password into the printer, although that wasn't the cause of the problem.
I apologise to the forum and moderators, but due to the response from Vilefox, my visit has been a very short one!
Good luck to all.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

The last one ended up in landfill, to be replaced by a cheap to buy and cheap to run laser.
I've noticed quite a few people with non-functioning Canons - especially wifi ones.
So my response was not a "poorly thought response" [sic].

IMO it was a rather unhelpful response to someone in need of help rather than opinion (even the opinion was valid in its self and may have been a lot more positive/helpful if posted in the correct context).
