Set up Canon Pixma printer when the router has no WPS button

I went to get a new D-LINK DIR-612 router today because the old router is really dead since I can't seem to be able to wake it up. Setting the wireless network up was a breeze.

The problem came when I was trying to connect the Canon Pixma printer to the wireless network, as directed by the running text on the screen of the printer "Press WPS button for about 5 seconds ..." while this model doesn't come with a WPS button.



Ended up, this is a step I can skip by simply pressing the "Stop" button on the printer.

After pressing the "Stop" button, I saw something like the following screen about Standard setup.


After pressing OK, the printer search automatically for access points near-by and all that I had to do was to use the arrow keys (or not) to locate my wireless network and press OK again.


Since it's a secured Wifi, it then ask me to entire the passphrase. When it's entered, mission seemingly impossible is completed ... setting up Canon Pixma printer when the router has no WPS button (while the printer asked for it).
