The Canon FAXPHONE L80 driver enables Windows to communicate with the device’s printer function, allowing compatible applications to send documents for printing. Choosing the correct driver package helps prevent recognition problems and gives you access to the print settings available for this model.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Provides the software interface needed to send print jobs from your PC to the Canon FAXPHONE L80.
• Document settings: Makes supported options, such as paper size, page orientation, and copy count, available through the Windows print dialog.
• Print queue integration: Works with Windows printing tools so you can view pending documents and cancel unwanted jobs.
• Model-specific operation: Uses instructions intended for the L80 rather than relying solely on a generic printer driver. Available settings depend on the package and operating system.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information and confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Also check whether your installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Verify package compatibility. Select a driver explicitly listed for the Canon FAXPHONE L80 and your Windows version. This is an older device, so do not assume a legacy driver supports newer systems simply because it downloads successfully.
3. Prepare the printer and files. Turn on the L80, check that it is ready, and extract the downloaded files if necessary. Follow the package instructions about when to connect the printer.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer and follow its prompts. If the package contains driver files without a setup program, use Windows printer settings to add the printer and browse to the extracted driver folder when prompted.
5. Confirm successful setup. Restart Windows if requested, then open the printer’s properties and print a test page. If installation fails, recheck the model, Windows version, and system architecture before trying another package.

The printer driver does not automatically add network connectivity or enable PC-based faxing. Those capabilities require separate support from the device and software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails on newer Windows: The L80 uses legacy Canon fax/printer drivers. Run setup as administrator in compatibility mode for the listed Windows version; if it still stops, install manually via Device Manager using the extracted INF files.
• Device not detected: Confirm the L80 is powered on and connected directly to a USB port, not a hub. Try another cable/port, remove other USB printers, restart the Print Spooler, then reconnect and let Windows detect it.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon fax/printer drivers and unused L80 ports before installing. Keep only one L80 driver package, reboot, and set the correct FAXPHONE L80 printer/fax device as default.
