What should you Know before Installing Wired Canon Printer

 It is always a little intimidating to perform the first printer installation. There are so many steps to do and it is natural to feel a little confused. The internet has many online Canon printer installation guides to help you install your wired Canon printer. However before following the steps mentioned in those guides, you should have some basic knowledge about your Canon printer. In this guide, we have compiled a list of 5 things that you absolutely need to know about before you begin your Canon printer installation. 

Keep the following things in mind before you follow an online Canon printer installation guide:

1.You would need a USB cable!

 Wired Canon printers can only be connected to a computer with the help of a USB cable. All online   Canon printer installation guides advise you to arrange for a USB cable before you begin with the   installation process. Usually, the Canon printer comes along with a USB cable, but in case you have     lost it, you can use a different USB cable as long as the port types match.

 2.You would need to make space beside your computer!

While this seems like an obvious thing to state you must realise that you would need to make some space for your wired Canon printer beside your computer. This is because since you are using a Wired Canon printer, you would not be able to connect it to your computer without the cable and therefore, your printer would need to stay close to your computer. We suggest that before you follow your online Canon printer installation guide, try to make some room beside your computer so that you can easily perform the steps written in the guide without feeling confused or irritated.

 3.You would need to download drivers!

Sometimes Canon printers come with an installation disk. This disk contains all the installation softwares and the Canon driver files that you must install on your computer for a smooth printing journey. However, Canon printer drivers are also available on Canon’s website and can easily be downloaded and installed without the help of any disk. Therefore, in case you have lost the disk or if your printer model doesn’t come with a disk, you must install Canon printer by downloading the drivers from the website.

 Most online Canon printer installation guides have the information on how to install Canon printer driver in Windows but in case your guide doesn’t have the steps necessary, you can follow the steps written below to learn how to install Canon printer driver in Windows: 

      Turn on your computer and refresh your desktop.

·        Now click on your browser application and type “Canon official website” in the search box. Press        enter  to begin the search.

      You should see a list of results on the page. Usually the first link is to the homepage of Canon’s    website. Click on it to open Canon’s home page.

·       Now to learn how to install Canon printer driver in Windows, scroll to the very end of the page and      try to find a link that says “Downloads.” Click on the link once you have found it.

·       This should open a new page and you should now see a type box. Type your printer’s model name  here  and press enter. Alternatively, you can scroll through the options written under “Browse by our  product range” menu to find your printer model.

·       The page that opens now would have your printer’s model name written on it. On this page you will  find an option that says  “Drivers, Software & Firmware.” Click on it.  

·       Type “drivers” in the “Keyword” section, select “Driver” under the “Type” section, and select the      correct Windows operating system from the menu.  

·     Now, click on “Search” and click on the driver file that has been recently updated and looks the most     applicable to you. Select “Download.”

·         If you don’t know how to install Canon printer driver in Windows, you just have to wait for the file to   be downloaded.
