The Canon ImageRunner 5055 driver connects your Windows computer to this Canon multifunction device, allowing applications to send print jobs over your network. Installing a compatible driver helps Windows recognize the printer and makes its supported printing options available in the print dialog.

Key Features

• Network printing: Enables your PC to submit documents to the Canon ImageRunner 5055 through a configured network connection.
• Print settings control: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and double-sided printing when supported by the selected driver and device configuration.
• Installed accessory support: Lets you configure available paper sources and finishing options so the driver reflects the hardware fitted to your machine.
• Windows integration: Works with the Windows printing system to support everyday printing from office applications. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check that the specific package supports your operating system and system architecture before downloading.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Choose a Canon driver package that explicitly supports both your system and the ImageRunner 5055; compatibility can vary between packages.

1. Prepare the network connection. Make sure the printer is powered on and reachable from your computer. Obtain its IP address from the device’s network settings or ask your network administrator.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the appropriate package to your computer. If it comes as a compressed archive, extract the contents to a folder you can easily locate.

1. Add the printer. Run the included installer, if available, and follow its network setup prompts. Alternatively, use Windows’ Add Printer option, enter the printer’s IP address, and select the extracted driver when prompted.

1. Verify the configuration. Open Printer Properties, check any installed trays or finishing accessories, and print a test page. If printing fails, confirm the IP address and network access before reinstalling the driver.

A printing driver does not necessarily enable scanning or every multifunction feature. If you need additional functions, check whether separate Canon software is required for your setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails: Remove existing Canon iR5055 print queues and old Canon drivers in Print Management, reboot, then run the UFR II/PCL installer as administrator. Match the driver to Windows architecture and avoid installing over a universal driver.
• Device not detected: Set a static IP on the iR5055, ping it, then add the printer manually with a Standard TCP/IP port using that IP. WSD discovery often fails on older imageRUNNER models.
• Version conflicts: Delete duplicate iR5055 queues, uninstall conflicting Canon drivers, and install one current UFR II driver per queue. Mixing PCL and UFR II on the same queue can cause spool errors; update printer firmware if needed.
