The Canon iR ADV 6255 driver allows Windows to communicate with your Canon printer, converting documents into print jobs and making device settings available from your computer. Choose a driver package that matches your Windows version and system architecture to help ensure reliable installation and everyday printing.

Key Features

• Print settings within reach: Adjust options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and print quality through the printer’s preferences.
• Two-sided printing controls: Set up duplex printing for suitable documents to reduce paper use and keep lengthy reports easier to manage.
• Paper source and finishing options: Access compatible trays and finishing settings when the corresponding hardware is installed and correctly configured.
• Windows integration: Add the printer to Windows and send jobs from common desktop applications. Select the appropriate package for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 rather than assuming one installer supports every version.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows configuration. Open your computer’s system information to confirm the Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Match these details to the driver’s listed requirements.

1. Download the appropriate driver. Select a Canon iR ADV 6255 printer driver compatible with your operating system. If multiple driver types are available, follow your organization’s printing requirements or check the package documentation before choosing.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the device and ensure your computer can reach it over the office network. For a network installation, have the printer’s IP address or hostname ready in case automatic discovery does not locate it.

1. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded package if necessary, then launch its setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt, follow the installation instructions, and select the correct printer or enter its network address when requested.

1. Confirm settings and test printing. Open the printer’s properties in Windows, check any installed trays or finishing accessories, and print a test page. If the test fails, verify the selected port, network connection, and driver compatibility before reinstalling.

A correctly configured driver helps the Canon iR ADV 6255 use the printing options available on your particular office setup. Keep the installer documentation handy if your network requires administrator permissions or a shared print-server connection.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Download the correct Canon iR ADV 6255 driver for your Windows version and architecture (UFR II, PCL6, or PS as needed). Run the installer as administrator and remove any partially installed Canon package first.
• Device not detected: Confirm the copier’s IP address and that the PC is on the same network. Ping the device, then add a Standard TCP/IP port using that IP. For USB, try a different port/cable and avoid USB hubs.
• Driver version conflicts: Old Canon UFR II/PCL drivers can override the new one. Uninstall previous Canon iR ADV drivers in Print Server Properties, reboot, then install the latest package and set the correct port.
