The Canon MP495 series Printer XPS driver lets Windows send print jobs to your Canon printer through the XPS printing path. It provides printer-specific settings for document and photo output, helping applications communicate correctly with the device. Select the download that matches your Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 installation and system architecture.

Key Features

• XPS printing support: Enables compatible applications to use the XPS print workflow, which can preserve detailed graphics and smooth color gradations.
• Printer-specific controls: Provides access to supported paper sizes, media types, print quality levels, and color options for the Canon MP495 series.
• Network printing integration: Allows Windows to use the printer over an existing, correctly configured wireless connection. The driver alone does not establish the printer’s Wi-Fi connection.
• Output customization: Helps you adjust settings for everyday documents or photo paper without relying solely on generic Windows printing options.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information and confirm whether your PC uses Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Also check the system type so you can choose a matching driver package.

1. Download the appropriate driver. Select the Canon MP495 series Printer XPS package intended for your operating system. Review any package requirements; some XPS driver installations require the standard Canon printer driver first.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer. For wireless printing, make sure the printer and computer are connected to the same local network. If installing through USB, follow the installer’s instructions on when to attach the cable.

1. Run the installer. Extract the download if necessary, launch the setup program, and approve the Windows permission prompt. Follow the on-screen instructions and select the correct printer when asked.

1. Verify printing. Open Windows printer settings, select the installed XPS printer entry, and print a test page. If the printer is not detected, check its connection before repeating setup.

This package is for printing; scanning functions may require separate Canon software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the MP495, uninstall existing Canon MP495/MP490 entries in Apps & features and Printer properties, reboot, then run the XPS driver installer as administrator.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MP495 is powered on and use a known-good USB cable directly to the PC, not a hub. For wireless, verify it is on the same network and re-add it by IP address.
• Version conflicts / wrong driver: Remove older Canon or Windows WSD print queues, match the XPS driver to your Windows version and 32/64-bit architecture, then reinstall and set the Canon MP495 as default.
