The Canon MX390 series driver connects your Canon multifunction printer to your Windows computer, allowing applications to send print jobs and access supported device functions. Installing the appropriate package helps you manage paper settings, print quality, and scanning features without relying solely on basic Windows printer support.

Key Features

• Print settings and controls: Adjust paper size, media type, orientation, and quality to suit everyday documents, forms, or photos.
• Scanning support: A compatible driver package can enable the built-in scanner for digitizing documents and images. Available scanning tools depend on the package you install.
• Device communication: Helps Windows recognize the printer over USB and exchange information needed to process jobs and report printer status.
• Maintenance access: Depending on the installed software, printer preferences may include tools for nozzle checks, printhead cleaning, and alignment.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Identify whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type where applicable. Choose a Canon MX390 series package explicitly listed as compatible with your operating system; support can vary between driver releases.
2. Download the appropriate package. Select the printer driver or multifunction driver package for your model. If you also need scanning, review the package description to see whether scanner support is included or offered separately.
3. Prepare the printer and computer. Turn on the printer, close open applications, and keep the USB cable disconnected unless the installer’s instructions say otherwise.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if it appears, and follow the setup instructions. Connect the USB cable directly to your computer when prompted, then allow installation to finish.
5. Test printing and scanning. Open Windows printer settings, select the Canon MX390 series, and print a test page. If you installed scanner support, try a scan with a compatible application to confirm that both functions work.

If setup does not detect the printer, check the USB connection and try another port before running the installer again. On Windows 11 in particular, confirm that the selected package supports your system rather than assuming an older driver will work.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until the installer prompts for it, run the Canon setup as administrator, and temporarily pause antivirus software.
• Printer not detected: Connect directly to a USB 2.0 port instead of a hub, try a known-good cable, confirm the MX390 is powered on and online, and restart the Print Spooler service.
• Driver version conflicts: Remove older Canon MX390 series printer and scanner entries in Apps & Features and Device Manager, reboot, then install the current Canon package.
