The Canon G6020 driver connects your Canon all-in-one printer with Windows, allowing applications to send print jobs and use the printer’s available settings. Installing the appropriate driver helps you configure paper handling, adjust print quality, and resolve problems caused by a missing or incompatible printer driver.

Key Features

• Printing controls: Access options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality to suit everyday documents or color projects.
• Automatic two-sided printing: Configure duplex printing for supported paper types and sizes to reduce paper use when printing longer documents.
• Connection support: Set up the Canon G6020 over USB or a supported network connection, depending on the driver package and your preferred setup.
• Scanning support: Use the appropriate Canon scanning driver and software to scan documents or photos from the flatbed. Scanning components may be supplied separately from the printer driver.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7. Check whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit where applicable, and select a package that explicitly supports that version. Compatibility can vary between driver releases.

1. Download the matching Canon package. Choose the printer driver or setup package for the Canon G6020. If you also need scanning, check whether the download includes scanning components or requires an additional installer.

1. Prepare the printer and connection. Turn on the printer and complete its initial hardware setup. For network installation, make sure the printer and computer can communicate on the same network. For USB setup, keep the cable disconnected until the installer requests it.

1. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, allow administrator access if prompted, and follow the on-screen instructions. Select your connection method and choose the correct printer when it appears in the device list.

1. Verify printing and scanning. Print a test page from Windows printer settings, then try a scan if you installed scanning software. If the printer is not detected, check its connection and network status before repeating setup. Restart Windows if the installer asks you to do so.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect VPNs, run the Canon G6020 installer as administrator, and temporarily pause antivirus. If wireless setup fails, complete USB setup first, then switch the G6020 to Wi-Fi via Canon IJ Network Device Setup Utility.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the G6020 and PC are on the same 2.4 GHz network, enable network discovery, and print a LAN settings report from the printer. If the IP changed, reserve a DHCP address or add the G6020 manually by TCP/IP port.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon PIXMA/MP Drivers and Canon software, restart Windows, then install the latest G6020 package. Remove duplicate printer entries and set the new G6020 queue as default.
