Cano Mx 890 Printer

I purchased my new MX 890printer today.I set up the wireless option which works fine with my iPhone and iPad.However,I cannot print from my Pc without the USB cable connected even though I seemed to enter my router password successfully. Does this mean that to print from  my PC,I have to have the USB cable connected,or,is there something I have not done in the set up? Previously,I had an HP envy computer which I plugged in on the other side of the computer room free of a USB cable which freed up bench and cord space
