The Canon imageRUNNER 2420 driver connects this office printer to your Windows computer, allowing applications to send print jobs with the correct settings. Installing a compatible driver helps you manage paper selection, page layout, and output preferences rather than relying on a generic printer setup.

Key Features

• Device-specific printing: Provides the software Windows needs to communicate with the Canon imageRUNNER 2420 and process print jobs.
• Paper and layout controls: Lets you adjust supported options such as paper size, orientation, and the number of copies from the printer’s preferences.
• Print quality settings: Offers available output adjustments so you can choose suitable settings for everyday documents, reports, and office paperwork.
• Configuration options: Helps Windows recognize supported printer features and any installed accessories, with available controls depending on the driver package and device configuration.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Before downloading, confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Check the system architecture as well, and select a driver package that explicitly supports your version and architecture.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the Canon imageRUNNER 2420 and make sure it is ready. For a network installation, confirm that your computer can reach the printer on the network. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the compatible Canon driver package to your computer. If it arrives as a compressed archive, extract its contents before starting installation.

1. Run the setup program. Open the installer and approve the Windows permission prompt if requested. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the connection method and identify your printer. If the package has no installer, use Windows’ Add printer option and browse to the extracted driver files.

1. Review settings and test printing. Open the printer’s properties or printing preferences, check the paper settings and available device options, then print a test page. If the printer does not respond, verify the selected port, cable or network connection, and driver compatibility.

Driver availability and installation methods can differ across Windows versions. Avoid assuming that a package intended for an older release will work on Windows 11; check its compatibility information before installing.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Run the Canon setup as administrator, close other print utilities, and temporarily disable antivirus. Remove any old imageRUNNER 2420/UFR II driver first, then reinstall the correct 32- or 64-bit Windows package.
• Device not detected: Confirm the printer is on and connected. For USB, try a rear port and a known-good cable; for network, print a configuration page, verify the IP, and ping it. Add the printer manually by IP using a Standard TCP/IP port and the Canon UFR II driver.
• Driver/version conflicts: In Print Management, delete duplicate imageRUNNER 2420 queues and stale ports, restart the Print Spooler service, then install the latest Canon driver. Set one queue as default to avoid jobs going to an old driver.
