Canon MF455DW Driver

The Canon MF455DW driver connects your multifunction laser printer to Windows so applications can send print jobs and use the device’s supported settings. Choosing a compatible Canon driver helps you configure everyday printing and, with the appropriate scanner software, access scanning functions from your PC.

Key Features

• Print settings within reach: Adjust paper size, orientation, copy count, and print quality through the driver’s preferences rather than relying on application defaults.
• Automatic two-sided printing: Select duplex output for reports, handouts, and other multipage documents to reduce paper use.
• USB and network connectivity: Set up printing over a direct USB connection or a supported wired or wireless network, depending on your workspace.
• Scanning support with the right package: Compatible Canon scanner drivers and utilities let Windows communicate with the scanner for document capture. These components may require a separate download.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type in Windows settings or System Properties. Select a Canon MF455DW package that explicitly lists your operating system and architecture; one installer may not cover every version.
2. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer. For network installation, connect it to the same local network as your computer. For USB setup, keep the cable disconnected until the installer requests it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.
3. Download and open the installer. Save the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and run the setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt after checking that the publisher is Canon.
4. Follow the setup prompts. Choose your connection method and select the detected Canon MF455DW. If network discovery fails, check the printer’s network connection and use its IP address if the installer offers that option. Install compatible scanning components if you need them.
5. Verify the installation. Open the Windows printer settings, confirm that the printer appears, and print a test page. Review paper and duplex preferences, then try a scan if you installed the scanner software.

If installation does not complete, check the package’s compatibility notes before retrying. Older Windows releases may need a different driver package or additional setup steps.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable during setup, remove any existing Canon MF455DW printer entry, reboot Windows, then run the latest Canon UFR II/PCL driver installer as administrator. Reconnect only when prompted.
• Device not detected on network: Confirm the printer and PC are on the same subnet, use the printer’s current IP address when adding the port, and wake the MF455DW from sleep. Temporarily allow the installer through Windows Firewall.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon imageCLASS drivers and clear stale print queues in Printers & scanners and Print Server Properties. Reinstall the matching 64-bit Windows driver, then restart the print spooler.
