The Canon imageCLASS MF4880dw driver lets Windows communicate with your multifunction laser printer so you can send documents to print and adjust settings from your computer. Choose a Canon driver package that matches your Windows version and connection method; scanning may require a separate scanner driver or utility.

Key Features

• Print settings within reach: Access options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and print quality through the Windows printing preferences.
• Automatic two-sided printing: Use the printer’s duplex capability to reduce paper use when producing reports, handouts, and other multipage documents.
• USB and network connectivity: Configure printing over a direct USB connection or through your local wired or wireless network, depending on your setup.
• Scanning support with the appropriate software: A compatible Canon scanner driver and utility allow you to capture paper documents on your PC using the flatbed or automatic document feeder.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your PC runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system architecture. Select a package explicitly listed as compatible with your operating system; driver and utility availability can differ between versions.

1. Prepare the printer and connection. Turn on the Canon imageCLASS MF4880dw and make sure it has paper loaded. For network installation, connect it to the same local network as your computer. For USB installation, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it.

1. Download and open the driver package. Save the appropriate Canon installer to your computer. Extract the files if needed, then launch the setup program and approve the Windows permission prompt.

1. Follow the setup instructions. Choose USB or network installation as appropriate. Select your printer when it appears in the detected-device list, then complete the installation. Install the compatible scanning software separately if it is not included and you need scan functions.

1. Verify the installation. Open Windows printer settings, select the installed printer, and print a test page. Check duplex and paper settings before your first job, and try a scan if you installed the scanner software. If network detection fails, confirm that both devices are on the same network and try adding the printer using its IP address.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or hangs: Disconnect the MF4880dw, remove old Canon imageCLASS entries in Printers & scanners, run the Canon setup as administrator, and reboot before reconnecting. Use the full MF4880dw package, not a generic Windows driver.
• Device not detected: For USB, connect directly to the PC, not a hub, and try another port/cable. For network, confirm the printer IP is on the same subnet, then add a TCP/IP port manually.
• Driver/version conflicts or scanning fails: Uninstall older UFR II/ScanGear components, install the matching 64-bit Canon package, and remove or roll back any Windows Update driver before reinstalling.
