Canon LBP 1120 Driver

The Canon LBP 1120 driver allows Windows to communicate with this Canon laser printer, converting documents into print data the device can process. Installing the correct driver also gives you access to printing preferences, such as paper size and page orientation. Because the LBP 1120 is a legacy model, check the driver package’s supported Windows versions and system architecture before downloading.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Provides the software connection needed to send print jobs from Windows applications to the Canon LBP 1120.
• Print preferences: Lets you adjust supported settings, including paper size, orientation, and copy count, through the printer’s properties.
• Job handling: Works with the Windows printing system to queue documents and manage everyday printing tasks.
• Model-specific support: Uses instructions designed for the LBP 1120 rather than relying on a generic driver that may not support the printer correctly.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version and architecture. Open your system information to confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Do not assume a driver for an older Windows release will work on a newer one.

1. Verify the package’s compatibility. Choose a driver that explicitly lists the Canon LBP 1120 and your operating system. Legacy driver availability may be limited, particularly for 64-bit Windows. A download page listing an OS does not by itself confirm compatibility.

1. Prepare the printer and installer. Download the verified package and extract it if necessary. Keep the printer’s USB cable disconnected until the installation instructions tell you to connect it.

1. Run the setup program. Follow the prompts, granting administrator permission if requested. Connect the printer directly to a USB port and switch it on when instructed. Restart Windows if the installer asks.

1. Confirm that printing works. Locate the printer in Windows printer settings and print a test page. If installation fails or the printer remains unavailable, recheck compatibility rather than forcing an unsupported driver or disabling Windows security protections.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: The LBP 1120 uses an older Canon driver package. Run setup as administrator, match 32/64-bit Windows, and use compatibility mode if the installer targets an older Windows version. Avoid running setup from a network path.
• Printer not detected: Power on the LBP 1120 and connect it directly to a USB 2.0 port—not a hub—before starting setup. Try another cable/port, clear stuck print jobs, and restart the Print Spooler service.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove existing Canon LBP or generic USB printer entries and old driver packages via Print Management, reboot, then install only the latest available LBP 1120 package. Do not mix Canon and Windows generic drivers for the same queue.
