The Canon imageRUNNER 2525i driver enables your Windows computer to communicate with this multifunction device over a network and send print jobs with the appropriate settings. Choosing a compatible Canon driver helps Windows recognize the printer’s capabilities and makes its available printing options accessible from your applications.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Connects your computer to the Canon imageRUNNER 2525i on a local network, allowing you to send documents without a direct USB connection.
• Print preference controls: Provides access to options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and two-sided printing, depending on the driver and device configuration.
• Paper source selection: Lets you choose available paper trays and match print settings to the paper loaded in the machine.
• Windows integration: Makes the printer available through standard Windows print dialogs. Select a package that explicitly supports your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and your system architecture.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your computer’s system information and confirm the Windows edition and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Download the Canon imageRUNNER 2525i driver package that matches your system; not every package supports all Windows versions.

1. Prepare the network connection. Ensure the printer is powered on and connected to a network your PC can reach. Find its IP address through the device’s network settings or a printed network configuration report if automatic discovery is unavailable.

1. Extract and launch the installer. If the download is compressed, extract its contents first. Run the setup program and approve the Windows administrator prompt if requested.

1. Add the network printer. Follow the installer’s instructions, select the network connection option, and choose the detected device. If it does not appear, enter its IP address when prompted. For a driver-only package, use Windows’ Add printer option and browse to the extracted driver files.

1. Verify the setup. Open the printer’s properties, check that installed trays and other available options are configured correctly, and print a test page. If printing fails, confirm the printer’s IP address and network accessibility before reinstalling.

The printer driver may not include scanning tools. If you also need network scanning, check for a separate compatible Canon scanning utility.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the Canon setup as administrator, temporarily disable antivirus, remove existing imageRUNNER 2525i/UFR II LT entries in Print Management, restart the spooler, then reinstall the package matching 32/64-bit Windows.
• Device not detected: Confirm the printer IP and subnet, ping it, set a static IP/reservation, and create/verify a Standard TCP/IP port (not WSD) before adding the driver. For USB, use a rear port and known-good cable.
• Version/port conflicts: Uninstall old PCL/UFR II drivers and duplicate queues, clear the leftover port, restart Print Spooler, and install only one current driver; remove the old package first when upgrading.
