The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4525i driver lets your Windows computer communicate with this multifunction printer over a network. Installing a compatible Canon driver helps applications send print jobs correctly and gives you access to settings for paper handling, output quality, and available device options.

Key Features

• Network printing: Connects your PC to the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4525i through your office network, using the printer’s IP address or a shared print queue.
• Print layout controls: Provides settings such as paper size, orientation, and two-sided printing, depending on the driver package and printer configuration.
• Device option support: Allows the print queue to reflect installed accessories, such as additional paper sources or finishing equipment, so supported choices appear in print preferences.
• Windows integration: Makes the printer available from standard Windows print dialogs. Choose 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 system. Open your PC’s system information and confirm the Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Download a Canon driver package that lists both your operating system and the imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4525i as supported.

1. Prepare the network connection. Make sure the printer is powered on and accessible from your computer’s network. Obtain its IP address from the device’s network settings or ask your network administrator for the correct shared printer path.

1. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, then launch the setup program. Allow administrator access when prompted and choose the network printer installation option if one is offered.

1. Select or add the printer. Follow the prompts to discover the device. If it does not appear, enter its IP address when supported, or use Windows’ Add Printer workflow with the extracted driver files. On managed networks, follow your administrator’s instructions for connecting to the shared queue.

1. Verify settings and test printing. Open the printer’s properties, check that installed options and default paper settings are correct, and print a test page. If the job fails, confirm the printer’s network address and queue status before reinstalling.

This download is intended for printer communication; scanning may require separate Canon software or additional network configuration. Check the package description if you need functionality beyond printing.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installation fails or stalls: Remove any previous Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE driver, reboot, then run the latest UFR II/PCL driver installer as administrator. Match 64-bit Windows and allow setup to finish before reconnecting USB/network.
• Device not detected on network: Confirm the 4525i has a valid IPv4 address on the same subnet, ping it, and add it manually using a Standard TCP/IP port with the printer’s IP or hostname. Avoid stale WSD ports.
• Driver version conflicts: In Print Management, delete old Canon imageRUNNER driver packages and print queues, restart the Print Spooler, then install one driver type (UFR II or PCL) only. Mixing UFR II/PCL/PS versions can cause print or scan issues.
