The Canon iR3570 driver allows Windows to communicate with your Canon multifunction printer, turning documents from your applications into print jobs the device can process. Installing a suitable driver also gives you access to printing preferences, helping you select the right paper source, layout, and output settings.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Enables applications to send print jobs to the Canon iR3570 through a configured connection, including a shared office network.
• Paper and layout controls: Provides settings for paper size, orientation, copy count, and page layout, depending on the driver package selected.
• Device-specific options: Can expose duplex printing, paper trays, and finishing controls when those features are installed and correctly configured.
• Reusable print preferences: Lets you set everyday printing defaults, reducing the need to adjust the same options for each document.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version and system type. Before downloading, confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Select a package that explicitly supports your setup; compatibility can vary between driver versions.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the Canon iR3570 and make sure it is accessible from your computer. For a network installation, obtain the printer’s IP address or the shared printer path from your administrator.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the appropriate Canon driver package to your computer. If it arrives as a compressed archive, extract its contents before starting installation.

1. Run the installer or add the printer manually. Follow the setup prompts and select the correct device or network port. If no installer is included, use Windows’ Add printer option and choose “Have Disk” when prompted to locate the extracted driver files.

1. Confirm options and print a test page. Open Printer properties, check the selected port, and configure any available trays or finishing accessories. Print a test page to verify communication, then adjust your default printing preferences.

For this older model, do not assume every available package supports every listed Windows version. Check the package’s compatibility notes before installation, especially for Windows 11. Printing drivers also do not necessarily include scanning tools; those functions may require separate software and device configuration.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the Canon setup as administrator, remove any partial Canon iR3570 entries in Printers & scanners, then reinstall the correct UFR II/PCL driver for your Windows version. Temporarily disable third-party security software if it blocks the spooler.
• Device not detected: Confirm the iR3570 is on the same network/subnet and reachable by ping; for USB, use a direct port and known-good cable. Add the printer manually with its IP address using a Standard TCP/IP port.
• Version/driver conflicts: Uninstall older Canon iR-series drivers and delete leftover ports before installing. Match 32/64-bit, avoid mixing UFR II, PCL, and PS drivers unless needed, and restart the print spooler.
