The Canon PIXMA MP370 Series Printer driver enables Windows to communicate with your printer and send documents or photos with the correct settings. Installing a compatible Canon driver helps you access printing preferences and resolve problems caused by missing or incorrectly configured printer software.

Key Features

• Printer recognition: Helps Windows identify the Canon MP370 and create the printer connection needed for everyday printing.
• Print settings: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality.
• Document and photo output: Translates print jobs from your applications into instructions the printer can process.
• Maintenance access: Depending on the driver package, may include utilities for checking printer status, cleaning the print head, or adjusting alignment.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. This is an older printer, so verify that the download explicitly supports your version; native drivers may not be available for every listed OS.
2. Select the correct package. Download a Canon driver that identifies the MP370 as a supported model. If you also need scanning, check whether a separate scanner driver or application is required.
3. Prepare the connection. Turn on the printer and close any open printing applications. For a USB installation, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if requested, and follow the setup instructions. Connect the printer when prompted and allow installation to finish.
5. Verify printing. Open Windows printer settings, select the Canon PIXMA MP370 Series Printer, and print a test page. Restart the computer if requested.

If setup fails on a newer Windows release, check Canon’s compatibility guidance before trying another package. A driver intended for a different printer or Windows version may not work correctly, even if the installer launches.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Use the Canon PIXMA MP370 Series package that matches your exact Windows version and 32/64-bit type. Run the installer as administrator, leave the USB cable disconnected until prompted, and remove any failed Canon MP370 entries before retrying.
• Printer not detected: Power on the MP370, connect USB directly to the PC rather than a hub, and try another cable/port. Check Device Manager for unknown devices, restart the Print Spooler, and reinstall the MP Drivers if scanning is also missing.
• Driver/port conflicts: Old Canon USB ports or duplicate MP370 queues can override a new install. Delete existing MP370 printers and stale Canon USB ports in Print Server Properties, reboot, then reinstall the correct driver.
