The Canon MX720 Series driver helps Windows communicate with your Canon multifunction printer for everyday printing and, when included in the selected package, scanning. For a network setup, it allows compatible software to find and use the device over your local connection. Choose a driver package that explicitly supports your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 before installing.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Connects Windows applications to a Canon MX720 Series printer on your local network, so you can send documents without a direct USB connection.
• Print settings access: Provides controls for options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality, depending on the installed driver and printer configuration.
• Scanning integration: A package that includes scanner drivers enables compatible applications to receive scans from the device. A print-only download may require separate scanning software.
• Device configuration: Helps Windows recognize the printer correctly and makes supported preferences available through the system’s printer settings.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type. Match these details to the download’s compatibility information; do not assume every package supports every listed operating system.
2. Prepare the network connection. Turn on the Canon MX720 Series and make sure it is connected to the same local network as your computer. Complete the printer’s network setup first if it has not already been configured.
3. Download and open the installer. Save the appropriate Canon driver package, extract it if necessary, and run the setup program. Approve the Windows administrator prompt if one appears.
4. Follow the setup instructions. Select the network connection option when offered, then choose your printer from the detected devices. If it does not appear, check the network connection and retry discovery.
5. Verify operation. Finish installation and restart Windows if requested. Print a test page from the printer settings, then try a scan if you installed a package with scanning support.

If printing works but scanning does not, check whether the download includes the required scanner component. Installing only a network print driver may not enable every function of the multifunction device.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the MX720 USB cable, uninstall existing Canon MX720/MP Drivers and IJ Scan Utility entries, reboot, then run the setup as administrator. Reconnect USB only when prompted.
• Device not detected: For USB, try another port/cable and check Device Manager for an unknown Canon device. For Wi-Fi, confirm the MX720 is on the same network and re-run Canon’s wireless setup.
• Version/driver conflicts: Match the driver to your Windows version and 32/64-bit architecture. Remove older Canon drivers first; if printing still fails, delete the stale printer queue/port and add the MX720 again.
