The Canon iR2520 driver connects this multifunction printer to your Windows computer, allowing applications to send print jobs and access supported printing settings. Choose a driver package that matches your Windows version and system architecture so the computer can communicate correctly with the device.

Key Features

• Application printing: Enables documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other files to be printed from Windows applications using the Canon iR2520.
• Document layout controls: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and multiple pages per sheet.
• Paper handling settings: Lets you select available paper sources and configure two-sided printing where supported by the driver and device setup.
• Device configuration: Helps Windows recognize installed printer options so the settings shown on your computer reflect the equipment available.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows system. Confirm whether you are running Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check the system architecture in Windows system information. Verify that the selected Canon driver package explicitly supports your version; older packages may not work with newer Windows releases.
2. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the Canon iR2520. For a network installation, make sure the printer is reachable from your computer and note its IP address if needed. For USB installation, follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the cable.
3. Download and extract the driver. Save the matching package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation, and review any included setup instructions.
4. Run the setup utility. Approve administrator permission if requested, select the appropriate connection method, and follow the prompts. If automatic network discovery does not find the printer, use its IP address when the installer offers that option.
5. Verify the installation. Open the printer settings in Windows, check the paper and device options, and print a test page. Set the printer as your default if you want applications to select it automatically.

A printer driver does not necessarily include scanning tools. If you also need scanning from the Canon iR2520, check for a separate compatible utility and confirm the required connection method.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove any existing Canon iR-series drivers first, restart the print spooler, then run the iR2520 UFR II/PCL installer as administrator. Match the driver to Windows version and architecture.
• Device not detected on the network: Confirm the iR2520 has a valid IP address and is on the same subnet. Ping the address, then add a TCP/IP printer port manually using that IP instead of relying on auto-discovery.
• Driver version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon iR2520/iR-series packages and clear leftover ports before installing the latest driver. Avoid mixing PCL and UFR II drivers for the same queue; restart the spooler after removal.
