The Canon iR1670 driver connects this office printer to your Windows computer, allowing applications to send documents in a format the device can process. Installing a suitable driver helps you access print settings and avoid problems caused by an incorrect or missing printer configuration.

Key Features

• Printing from Windows applications: Enables supported programs to send documents, spreadsheets, and other everyday files to the Canon iR1670.
• Paper and layout settings: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, and copy count, depending on the driver and printer configuration.
• Print output controls: Offers available quality settings so you can adjust output to suit routine office documents.
• Printer configuration: Helps Windows use the correct printer connection and recognize supported device options.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type in Windows settings. Driver availability can differ between versions, so verify that the package explicitly supports your operating system and the Canon iR1670.

1. Download a compatible driver. Choose a Canon driver package that matches your printer model and Windows installation. Do not assume an older driver will work on Windows 11 or Windows 10 simply because it supports Windows 7 or Windows 8.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer and check its connection to your computer or network, as applicable to your setup. If the driver instructions specify when to connect the device, follow that sequence.

1. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, open the setup program, and follow the prompts. If the package has no installer, use Windows’ Add Printer option and select the extracted driver when prompted.

1. Verify printing. Open the printer’s properties in Windows and print a test page. If the page does not print, check the selected port, connection, and print queue before reinstalling.

For this older Canon model, compatibility deserves special attention on newer Windows systems. If no package lists your exact operating system, check Canon’s support information for an approved alternative rather than installing an unrelated driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the Canon setup as administrator, temporarily disable antivirus, and confirm the driver matches Windows 32/64-bit. Remove existing iR1670 entries in Print Management before retrying.
• Device not detected: Verify the iR1670 is powered on and connected. For USB, try another port/cable; for network, confirm the PC and copier are on the same subnet, ping the iR1670 IP, and use the correct Standard TCP/IP port.
• Version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon iR drivers, delete lingering printer/port entries, reboot, then install only the current iR1670 UFR II/PCL driver. Don’t mix architectures or install multiple versions.
