MX720 series Driver

The Canon MX720 series driver connects your PIXMA all-in-one printer to Windows, allowing compatible software to communicate with its printing and scanning functions. It is useful when setting up the device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a printer that is not detected or does not respond correctly.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables Windows applications to send documents and photos to your Canon MX720 series printer with access to supported print settings.
• Device-specific controls: Provides options such as paper size, media type, and print quality, depending on the selected driver package.
• Scanning functionality: A compatible multifunction driver package can provide scanner support; a separate scanning utility may also be required.
• Connection support: Helps Windows recognize the device over supported USB or network connections when the appropriate package and setup method are used.

How to Install MX720 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Identify your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Choose a package intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, as applicable. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 is not included in this page’s supported OS list; verify compatibility with Canon before proceeding.

1. Select the correct download. For your MX720 series driver download for Windows, match the package to your exact printer model, operating system, and required functions. Use Canon’s official support resources to confirm the latest version offered for that combination.

1. Prepare the device. Turn on the printer and close unnecessary applications. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable. For network setup, ensure the printer and computer are connected to the same network.

1. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if requested, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver. Restart the computer if prompted.

1. Test the installation. Print a test page and, if you installed scanner support, try a scan. If the device is unavailable, check its connection and confirm that the correct printer is selected in Windows.

Keep the driver updated when Canon provides a compatible update, especially if you encounter connection or printing problems. Canon drivers are generally available as a free download, so avoid services that require payment merely to obtain them. The newest package is only useful if it supports your model and Windows version.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stops midway: Run the Canon MX720 setup as administrator, temporarily disable antivirus, and remove any partial MX720 entry in Programs and Features before retrying.
• Printer not detected: For USB, use a direct rear port and a known-good cable; reconnect only when setup asks. For Wi-Fi, confirm the PC and MX720 are on the same network, run Canon IJ Network Device Setup Utility, and allow setup through Windows Firewall.
• Version/driver conflicts: Uninstall older Canon MX720/MP Drivers and scanner drivers via Print Management and Programs and Features, restart, then install the latest MX720 package. Avoid mixing Windows Update generic drivers with Canon IJ drivers.
