The Canon Inkjet iP90 driver allows Windows to communicate with this compact printer, translating print jobs into instructions the device can process. Installing a compatible Canon driver helps you access printing preferences and resolve issues caused by missing or incorrectly configured printer software.

Key Features

• Printer recognition: Helps Windows identify the Canon Inkjet iP90 and use it as a printing device when connected through a supported interface.
• Print settings: Provides access to options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality, depending on the driver version.
• Color and document output: Supports the printer’s handling of text, graphics, and photos, with available adjustments controlled through its printing preferences.
• Print-job management: Works with the Windows print queue so you can monitor, pause, or cancel pending jobs.

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 a legacy printer, so verify that the available driver explicitly supports your configuration; compatibility should not be assumed across all four versions.

1. Download the appropriate driver. Choose a Canon Inkjet iP90 package that matches your operating system and architecture. If no compatible package is listed, check Canon’s support guidance or Windows Update for an available printing driver rather than installing an unrelated model’s software.

1. Prepare the printer. Load paper, confirm that the ink cartridges are installed, and turn the printer on. For a USB installation, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.

1. Run the installation. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, then launch the setup program and follow the prompts. If the package has no installer, use Windows printer settings to add the printer and select the supplied driver files when prompted.

1. Confirm printing works. Open the printer’s properties and print a test page. If it fails, check the selected printer, connection, and print queue before reinstalling.

Although a download listing may place this device in a Network category, the driver does not add networking hardware or wireless capabilities. Connection options depend on the printer’s actual hardware and any compatible accessories or sharing setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Confirm the driver matches your Windows version and 32/64-bit architecture. Run the Canon iP90 setup as administrator, close other apps, and temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks the installer. Remove any previous iP90 driver before retrying.
• Printer not detected: Power on the iP90 and connect it directly to a rear USB port, not a hub. Try another USB cable/port. Check Device Manager for an unknown device; if present, reinstall the Canon driver and restart the PC.
• Version conflicts/duplicate queues: Uninstall old Canon inkjet drivers and delete stale iP90 print queues in Print Management. Restart the Print Spooler service, then install the current iP90 driver.
