The Canon iR2520 driver enables Windows to communicate with your Canon multifunction printer, translating documents into print jobs and making printer settings available in your applications. When choosing a download for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check that the driver package matches your Windows version and system architecture.

Key Features

• Printing from Windows applications: Send documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and other files to the Canon iR2520 using the standard print menu.
• Paper and layout controls: Adjust supported options such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and page layout to suit your document.
• Access to device options: Configure available paper sources and two-sided printing where supported by the selected driver and printer configuration.
• Connection setup: Add the printer through a supported USB or network connection, depending on the package you choose and how the device is connected.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows system. Open your computer’s system information to confirm whether you are running Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and identify the system architecture. Select a Canon iR2520 driver package that explicitly supports that combination.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer. For a network setup, confirm that your computer can reach the printer on the network and note its IP address if needed. For USB installation, follow the installer’s instructions on when to connect the cable.

1. Download and unpack the driver. Save the matching package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents before opening the setup program.

1. Install and select the device. Run the installer, allow administrator access if prompted, and choose the appropriate connection method. Select the detected printer or enter its network address when requested. If the package has no installer, use Windows’ Add printer option and browse to the extracted driver files.

1. Verify the setup. Open the printer’s properties in Windows and print a test page. Review paper defaults and installed device options before sending regular jobs.

If installation fails, check the package’s compatibility notes and confirm that the chosen connection is working. Printing drivers do not necessarily include scanning utilities; those functions may require separate Canon software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or setup stops: Remove old Canon printer drivers and unused ports first. Run the iR2520 installer as administrator, temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks setup files, and reboot before retrying.
• Printer not detected: Check the USB/network connection. For network use, assign the iR2520 a static IP on the same subnet and add a Standard TCP/IP port manually. Confirm the correct 32/64-bit Canon UFR II/PCL driver is installed.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall previous Canon iR drivers, delete stale printer ports, then install the latest iR2520 package. Do not mix UFR II and PCL drivers on the same queue; restart the Print Spooler service after changes.
