MP560 series Driver

The Canon MP560 series driver connects your PIXMA MP560 all-in-one printer to Windows, enabling compatible software to access its printing and scanning functions. If you are setting up the device, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a connection problem, choose a driver package that matches your operating system.

Key Features

• Printing support: Lets Windows applications send documents and photos to the MP560, with access to supported paper sizes, print quality settings, and layout options.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver allows supported applications to communicate with the built-in scanner.
• Connection setup: Helps configure communication over supported USB or wireless connections, depending on the package and your network setup.
• Device preferences: Provides access to driver settings so you can adjust output quality and select appropriate media for everyday printing or photo projects.

How to Install MP560 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Identify your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Listed systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; individual packages may support only some of these.
2. Select the appropriate package. Before starting your MP560 series driver download for Windows, confirm that its compatibility details match your system. Choose the latest version available for your specific Windows release.
3. Download from a trusted source. Use Canon’s official support resources when available. A driver should be a free download, without requiring a paid driver-updater subscription.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to install the software. Connect the USB cable when instructed, or follow the supported wireless setup procedure.
5. Test the device. Restart Windows if prompted, then print a test page and try scanning if you installed scanner support.

Keep your driver updated when Canon provides a compatible update, particularly if you encounter printing or scanning issues. When checking Windows 10/11 compatibility, do not assume the same package supports both: Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported systems, so verify availability before upgrading or installing.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the MP560 USB cable until setup prompts for it, close other printer software, and run the Canon installer as administrator. Use the latest MP560-series package for your Windows version.
• Device not detected: Check the USB cable/port or confirm the MP560 is on the same Wi‑Fi network. For wireless, press the printer’s WLAN button, reconnect, then restart the printer and PC.
• Version conflicts or duplicate queues: Remove old Canon MP560 entries in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners, uninstall old Canon drivers, reboot, then install one current driver.
