Necessary

Instructions
Step 1
When installing drivers for a Canon printer, determine its model by reading the name on the body of the machine. You can also find out the brand of the printing device from the documentation that came with it.
Step 2
Remember that high-tech equipment that requires activation of additional software always comes with a CD with the appropriate drivers. If you lost the media, purchase it from a computer store.
Step 3
You can find the software you need in the collection of drivers, after checking its availability in the list. If your friends use a similar printing device, ask them for an installation disc.
Step 4
Visit the official Canon website by following the link at the end of the article. On the manufacturer's title page, open the Support section and the Driver Catalog item. In the window that appears, enter the data in the appropriate column, one of which is intended for software for a home computer, and the other is filled in by those who plan to use it for commercial purposes.
Step 5
Select your country from the drop-down list in the first field, and in the second, specify the type of equipment by clicking on the Printers button. Select the model of your printing device and confirm your action by clicking on Go. Wait for the request to be processed and, following the step-by-step instructions, fill in all the fields of the form. Activate the Download option, browse to a directory on your computer and download the driver for your Canon printer.
Step 6
Make sure the printing machine is connected to your computer and plugged into an electrical outlet. Run the installation file saved on your hard disk and follow the step-by-step instructions. After installing the driver, print a test page and check the quality of the resulting image.
