For normal operation of any devices connected to the system, special programs - drivers are required. In some cases, the necessary files are already available on the PC, and sometimes you have to find and install them yourself. Next we will describe this process for the Canon MP230 printer.
There are several ways to download and install software for this printer model. This is a completely manual procedure, including a visit to the manufacturer’s official website, as well as semi-automatic installation using auxiliary tools - programs or tools built into the system. There is another option - searching for files on the Internet by hardware identifier.
Method 1: Official website of the manufacturer
On the official web pages we can find all the options for drivers suitable for our model. In this case, the differences between the packages lie in the bitness of the system on which they must be installed, as well as in the purpose of the software.
- By clicking on the link above, we will see a list of drivers for our printer. There are two of them here. The first is basic, without which the device will not fully function. Using the second, printing with a depth of 16 bits and support for the XPS format (the same PDF, but from Microsoft) is implemented.
- First we need a basic package (MP driver). We select in the drop-down list the version and bitness of the operating system installed on our PC, if the resource did not automatically determine this.
- Scroll down the page and press the button "Download". Don't mix up the packages.
- Please read Canon's disclaimer in the pop-up window carefully. We agree to the terms.
- The next window contains short instructions for finding the downloaded file on your computer for the browser you are currently using. After studying the information, you just need to close it, after which the download will begin.
- After downloading the installer, you need to run it. This must be done as an administrator in order to avoid possible errors.
- Next will be the process of unpacking the files.
- In the welcome window, familiarize yourself with the information provided and click "Further".
- We agree to the terms of the license agreement.
- After a short installation process, you will need to connect the printer to your PC (if it is not already connected) and wait until the system detects it. The window will close as soon as this happens.
This completes the installation of the basic driver. If you need to use additional printer capabilities, then repeat the procedure with the second package.
Method 2: Third Party Programs
By third-party programs we mean special software that allows you to search and install the necessary drivers online or offline. One of the most convenient tools is DriverPack Solution.
Using the program is quite simple: just download it and run it on your computer, after which the system will automatically scan and search for files suitable for your existing equipment.
Method 3: Hardware ID
Each device in the system has its own unique identifier (ID), after learning which you can search for the necessary drivers on specialized resources on the Internet. This method will only work if the printer is already connected to the PC. For our device the identifier is:
USB\VID_04A9&PID_175F&MI_00
Method 4: System Tools
Windows OS includes standard driver packages for most peripheral devices. It is worth noting that these packages only allow you to identify the device and use its basic capabilities. In order to use all the functionality, you need to go to the manufacturer’s website or program help (see above).
So, we know that there are drivers in the system, we just need to find and install them. This is done like this:
- Calling up the menu "Run" key combination Windows+R and execute the command to access the desired settings section.
control printers
- Click the button that starts the software installation indicated in the screenshot.
- Add a local printer by clicking on the appropriate item.
- Select the port to which the printer is connected (or will be connected).
- The next window is divided into two parts. On the left we see equipment vendors, and on the right we see available models. Selecting a manufacturer ( Canon) and look for our model in the list. Click "Further".
- We give a name to our printer and click again "Further".
- We set up shared access and move on to the final stage.
- Here you can print a test page or finish the installation by clicking "Ready".
Conclusion
In this article, we have presented all the possible options for searching and installing drivers for the Canon MP 230 printer.
