MP990 series Driver

The Canon MP990 series driver helps Windows communicate with your PIXMA MP990 multifunction printer so compatible software can access its printing and scanning functions. If you are setting up the device, reconnecting it after a system change, or troubleshooting a detection problem, installing the appropriate driver is a useful first step.

Key Features

• Printing support for sending documents and photos from Windows applications to the Canon MP990.
• Access to available print settings, such as paper size, media type, and output quality.
• Scanning support when the selected package includes the required scanner driver; additional scanning software may be offered separately.
• Device communication for supported connection methods, depending on the driver package and your setup.

How to Install MP990 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Driver packages may be available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but each package has its own compatibility requirements.
2. Choose the MP990 series driver download for Windows that matches your system. Look for the latest version compatible with your operating system, rather than assuming the newest package supports every Windows release.
3. Obtain the installer as a free download from a trusted source, preferably Canon’s official support resources. Review the package description to confirm whether it includes printer drivers, scanner drivers, or both.
4. Open the downloaded installer and follow the prompts to install the software. Turn on the MP990 and connect it using the method requested by the setup program.
5. Restart Windows if prompted, then print a test page and try a scan. If setup fails, verify the connection and confirm that you selected the correct driver package.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible update when you encounter problems or change operating systems. For Windows 10/11 systems, check support for each version separately: Windows 10 compatibility does not establish Windows 11 support. Avoid forcing an unsupported package to install, and keep a working installer available if you need to restore your setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the USB cable, uninstall existing Canon MP990/MP Drivers and IJ Network Tool entries, reboot, then run setup as administrator with antivirus temporarily paused. Reconnect only when prompted.
• Printer/scanner not detected: For USB, try another port/cable and avoid hubs; for network, confirm the MP990 is on the same network and reselect it in Canon IJ Network Tool. Restart Print Spooler if needed.
• Version conflicts after Windows updates: Remove older MP Drivers/MP Navigator EX before installing the current package; don’t mix 32/64-bit or USB/network driver sets. If scanning fails, reinstall MP Navigator EX and reselect the MP990 in IJ Network Scanner Selector.
