The Canon SELPHY CP810 is a compact photo printer that produces prints from your digital images. Its driver allows Windows to communicate with the printer over USB, giving compatible photo applications access to print settings such as paper size, orientation, and layout.

Key Features

• USB printing from a PC: Connects the Canon SELPHY CP810 to Windows so you can send photos directly from compatible desktop software.
• Paper and layout settings: Provides options for matching your document to the loaded SELPHY paper format and choosing an appropriate print orientation.
• Photo output controls: Gives applications access to supported printer settings, helping you prepare images for bordered or borderless printing where available.
• Print-job management: Works with the Windows print queue so you can review pending jobs or cancel a print before it finishes.

How to Install

1. Check the download’s compatibility. Confirm that the package names the Canon SELPHY CP810 and matches your Windows version and system architecture. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, verify the package’s stated support before downloading; an older driver should not be assumed to support every newer Windows release.
2. Prepare the printer. Load compatible paper and the matching ink cassette, connect the power supply, and leave the USB cable disconnected unless the installation instructions say otherwise.
3. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, open the setup program, and approve the Windows permission prompt. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Connect when prompted. Turn on the printer and attach it directly to an available USB port on your computer. Allow Windows to finish detecting and configuring the device.
5. Check settings and print a photo. Select the SELPHY CP810 in your photo application, choose the paper size that matches the loaded media, and review the preview before printing.

If the printer does not appear, check the USB connection and restart both devices. If installation fails because of compatibility, look for Canon’s guidance for your specific Windows version rather than forcing an unsupported package.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the SELPHY CP810 USB cable, close Canon setup utilities, run the driver installer as administrator, and reconnect only when prompted. Remove partial installs via Settings > Apps before retrying.
• Printer not detected: Connect the CP810 directly to a rear USB port, not a hub. Power on the printer, try a known-good USB cable, then reinstall the CP810 driver and check Device Manager for unknown devices.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon SELPHY software and drivers in Apps & Features and Device Manager, restart Windows, then install the current CP810 package. Avoid mixing a generic Windows photo printer driver with Canon’s SELPHY driver.
