The Canon MP495 series Printer XPS driver enables compatible Windows applications to send print jobs to your Canon printer using the XPS print path. It provides access to printer-specific settings and helps translate document layouts, images, and color information into printable output. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, choose a download that matches your operating system and system architecture.

Key Features

• XPS-based printing: Supports the XML Paper Specification print workflow for applications that can use it, helping retain document detail and smooth color gradations.
• Printer-specific controls: Provides settings such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality so you can tailor output to everyday documents or photo projects.
• Network printing support: Works with a correctly configured network printer connection, allowing print jobs to reach the MP495 over your local wireless network.
• Dedicated print functionality: Supplies the XPS printing component for the Canon MP495 series. Scanning features and other device utilities may require separate Canon software.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows configuration. Confirm whether you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check the system type in Windows Settings or Control Panel. Review the download’s compatibility details before proceeding.
2. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the MP495 and clear any displayed errors. For wireless printing, make sure the printer and computer are connected to the same local network.
3. Download and extract the package. Save the compatible Canon MP495 series Printer XPS driver to your computer. If the download is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation.
4. Run the installer. Open the setup program and approve the Windows permission prompt if requested. Follow the instructions to select the printer and connection method. If the package requires a standard Canon printer driver first, install that prerequisite before continuing.
5. Verify the installation. Open your Windows printer settings, locate the installed printer, and print a test page. Check the printing preferences to confirm the correct paper size and quality settings.

If the printer is not detected, check its network connection and restart the printer before trying again. An XPS driver does not configure wireless access by itself, so complete the printer’s network setup first.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Remove existing “Canon MP495 series” entries from Apps & features and Devices and Printers, reboot, then run the XPS driver setup as administrator. Connect USB only when prompted; a pre-connected cable can cause setup failure.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MP495 is on and use a direct USB port, not a hub. For Wi-Fi, reconnect the printer to the same 2.4 GHz network as the PC and re-run detection. Check Device Manager for an unknown USB device.
• Driver/version conflicts: If Windows installed a generic MP495 driver, delete the printer and driver package, then install the Canon XPS package. Match Windows architecture (32/64-bit) and avoid mixing older MP Drivers with the XPS driver.
