How to install the printer driver correctly: Do not connect the printer to the computer. Start installing the software first. During the installation process, a message will appear on the monitor informing you when to connect the printer to your computer.
If you see the message ‘Found New Hardware’ on the screen, click Cancel and disconnect the USB cable. Then proceed to install the software. A common mistake when installing a driver is that you first connect the device to your computer using a USB cable and then install the driver. In this case, the operating system detects the connected device and installs its own driver, which may not work correctly or not work at all. However, some other devices may work fine with the driver installed by the operating system. Therefore, if there is a driver specially created for your device, then first start installing this driver and only then connect the device to the computer.

Important information for modern ARM laptop owners!
If your computer or laptop runs on the Windows 11 ARM operating system (for example, based on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, Snapdragon X Plus, or similar processors), you will not be able to install standard x86/x64 drivers from Canon. Due to the architectural features of the system, a classic launch of the installation file via a USB cable for the PIXMA and MAXIFY lineups leads to compatibility errors.
Nevertheless, wireless models can be successfully configured for basic printing without using official Canon software. How to bypass system limitations, start printing via Wi-Fi, and organize free document scanning is described in detail in our separate guide.
