Canon IJ Printer Driver
The Canon IJ printer driver (simply called printer driver below) is software that you install onto your
computer so that it can communicate with the printer.
The printer driver converts the print data created by your application software into data that your printer can
understand, and sends the converted data to the printer.
Because different printers support different data formats, you need a printer driver that supports your printer.
Printer Driver Types
If your computer is running Windows Vista SP1 or a later version, you can install the XPS printer driver in
addition to the normal printer driver.
The XPS printer driver is suited to printing from application software that supports XPS printing.
Important
• Note that if you want to use the XPS printer driver, the normal printer driver must also be installed.
Installing the Printer Driver

dialog box of the application software you are using, and
select "Canon XXX" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the regular printer driver or select
"Canon XXX XPS" (where "XXX" is your model name) to specify the XPS printer driver.
