The Canon IR5570 IR6570 pcl5e driver enables Windows to send print jobs to these Canon multifunction printers using the PCL5e printer language. It gives applications access to printing preferences so you can configure document output before sending it to the device.

Key Features

• PCL5e printing support: Converts print requests from Windows applications into instructions the printer can process, helping you print office documents, reports, and forms.
• Document layout controls: Provides settings for paper size, orientation, and copy count, with additional options depending on the driver version and printer configuration.
• Paper and finishing options: Lets you configure supported paper sources, duplex printing, and installed finishing accessories when available on your Canon printer.
• Windows print queue integration: Adds the device to the Windows printing system, where you can manage queued documents, adjust printing defaults, and check job status.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Before downloading, confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Select a package explicitly listed for your operating system and architecture; older PCL5e releases may not support every Windows version.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the Canon IR5570 or IR6570. For a network installation, make sure the printer is reachable from your computer and note its IP address. If you are using a direct connection, follow the installer’s instructions for when to connect the cable.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the matching Canon IR5570 IR6570 pcl5e driver package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents to an easy-to-find folder before starting installation.

1. Install the printer. Run the included setup program, if provided, and follow the prompts. Alternatively, use the Windows Add Printer wizard, choose the appropriate connection or port, and select “Have Disk” to browse to the extracted driver’s INF file.

1. Confirm options and test printing. Open Printer Properties, check the installed trays and finishing accessories, and print a Windows test page. If the page does not print, verify the selected port, network address, and driver match before retrying.

This package is intended for printing. Scanning or other multifunction features may require separate Canon software.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the Canon PCL5e setup as administrator, stop the Print Spooler, remove existing IR5570/IR6570 PCL5e or UFR II entries in Print Server Properties, restart the spooler, then reinstall the correct 32/64-bit package.
• Device not detected: Confirm the copier’s IP address and subnet, ping it, and create a Standard TCP/IP port manually instead of using WSD. Enable SNMP or LPD on the IR5570/IR6570 if discovery still fails.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove older Canon PCL5e/PCL6/UFR II drivers for the same queue, clear leftover driver packages, and install one matching PCL5e driver per architecture. Avoid mixing Windows Update and Canon packages.
