No. It is not possible to setup and use your Canon PIXMA MX512 without a computer system. First, you have to connect the USB data cable to your computer. You also need to use the computer to modify and give commands to the printer. Lastly, the driver software is required to be installed to your computer. You can download the driver software here:
