Updating the Driver
You can update installed drivers to their newer versions.
It is recommended that you download the latest drivers corresponding to new functions and/or operating systems, and update them.
You can update already installed drivers at the same time as installing a driver for a new device, but here the procedure for updating installed drivers only is explained.
Prerequisites
Acquire the installer
You can download the update installer from the Canon web site (https://global.canon/).
Connect the device by USB cable and turn the power on (when updating a driver installed with a USB connection).
When starting the computer, logon as a member of Administrators.

IMPORTANTThe driver can also be updated without using an installer by using Windows Update in the add printer function of Windows.
However, if the driver is updated using Windows Update, the Windows standard print settings screen may be displayed. In this case, refer to the subsequent troubleshooting to enable the print settings screen of the driver to be displayed.
