The Canon iR ADV 4245 4251 UFR II driver enables Windows to send print jobs to compatible Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction printers using Canon’s UFR II printing system. For a network-connected office printer, it helps your computer communicate with the device and access supported print settings. Choose a driver package that explicitly supports your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and matches your system architecture.

Key Features

• UFR II printing support: Converts documents into print data that a compatible Canon device can process, allowing you to print from everyday Windows applications.
• Network printer access: Supports printing to a properly configured device on your local network, using the connection options available in the driver package.
• Document layout controls: Provides settings such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and two-sided printing where supported by the printer configuration.
• Device-specific options: Can expose available paper sources and finishing controls when the corresponding hardware is installed and correctly configured.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your computer’s system information to confirm the operating system and architecture. Select a Canon iR ADV 4245 4251 UFR II package that lists compatibility with your setup; do not assume every package supports all four Windows versions.
2. Prepare the network connection. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to a network your PC can reach. Note its IP address from the printer’s network settings or ask your administrator for the correct address.
3. Download and extract the driver. Save the compatible package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation.
4. Run the installer. Follow the setup prompts and select the network printer when detected. If automatic discovery does not find it, use the IP-address installation option if offered, or add the printer through Windows using the supplied driver files.
5. Confirm settings and test printing. Check the printer’s properties for installed trays and optional accessories, then print a test page. If printing fails, verify the selected port, printer IP address, and network access.

This UFR II package is intended for printing. Scanning and other multifunction features may require separate Canon software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove existing Canon iR-ADV 4245/4251 UFR II entries and pending print jobs, restart the Print Spooler, then run the Canon setup as administrator. Temporarily disable antivirus blocking during install.
• Device not detected: Confirm the copier is online and reachable by IP. Create/select a Standard TCP/IP port for the 4245/4251 instead of a WSD port, and check same-subnet/firewall rules for RAW/9100 or LPR.
• Version conflicts/duplicate drivers: Uninstall older Canon UFR II/PCL drivers with the Canon uninstaller, reboot, and install only the matching UFR II package for the exact model. Delete stale duplicate ports and print queues.
