The Canon Inkjet PIXUS 560i driver allows Windows to communicate with your printer and send documents or images with the appropriate print settings. Installing a compatible driver helps you access printing preferences and resolve issues caused by a missing or incorrectly configured printer driver.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Provides the software interface Windows needs to send print jobs to the Canon Inkjet PIXUS 560i.
• Paper and layout controls: Lets you choose available paper sizes, orientation, and other document settings through the printer’s preferences.
• Print quality options: Gives access to the quality and color settings supported by the installed driver, helping you tailor output for everyday documents or images.
• Windows application integration: Makes the printer available through standard print dialogs once installation and device detection are complete.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Identify whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check your system architecture. Before downloading, confirm that the package explicitly supports your Windows version and the Canon Inkjet PIXUS 560i; legacy printer drivers may not support every listed operating system.
2. Prepare the printer. Connect the power cable, load paper, and make sure the printer has no visible error indicators. If using a USB installer, leave the USB cable disconnected until the setup instructions request it.
3. Download and open the driver package. Save the compatible package to your computer. Extract it if necessary, then run the setup program and approve the Windows permission prompt if one appears.
4. Complete the setup. Follow the on-screen instructions, connecting the printer when prompted. If the package has no installer, use Windows’ Add printer option and select the extracted driver files when requested.
5. Check the installation. Open the printer’s properties in Windows and print a test page. If it does not print, check the cable connection, selected printer, and print queue before reinstalling.

For newer Windows systems, verify compatibility carefully rather than assuming an older Canon driver will work. Available settings and installation methods can vary by driver package.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stops midway: Disconnect the USB cable, uninstall any existing PIXUS 560i/Canon inkjet driver, restart Windows, then run the download as administrator. Reconnect the printer only when setup asks.
• Printer not detected: Use a direct USB port instead of a hub, try another cable, confirm the PIXUS 560i is powered on, and check Device Manager for unknown USB devices. Clear stuck print jobs and restart the Print Spooler service.
• Driver version conflicts: Remove old Canon PIXUS entries in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners and uninstall related software before installing the new driver. Avoid mixing 32-bit and 64-bit packages; match your Windows architecture.
