The Canon MP960Storage USB Device driver helps Windows recognize and communicate with the storage interface associated with the Canon MP960, such as its memory card reader. You may need it if the device appears as unknown in Device Manager, connected storage is unavailable, or you are restoring support after reinstalling Windows. This entry lists Microsoft as the driver vendor and places the device in the Other category; it is separate from the printer and scanner drivers.
Key Features
- Supports communication between Windows and the MP960’s USB storage interface, allowing compatible removable media to be detected.
- Helps resolve recognition problems caused by a missing or incorrectly installed storage driver.
- Lists support for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility of the specific driver package.
- Uses Microsoft-provided driver support for the storage component rather than replacing Canon’s printing or scanning software.
How to Install Canon MP960Storage USB Device Driver
- Check your Windows version and system type. Before choosing a Canon MP960Storage USB Device driver download for Windows, confirm that the package matches your operating system and, where applicable, its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
- Connect the MP960 directly to a working USB port and turn it on. Let Windows attempt automatic installation first, since a suitable storage driver may already be included.
- If the device remains unrecognized, open Device Manager and locate its entry under storage devices, USB controllers, or Other devices. Check its hardware IDs to confirm that any downloaded driver is a match.
- Use Windows Update or a trusted official source to look for the latest version compatible with your system. A free download should not require a paid driver utility. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify support carefully: Windows 11 is not included in this entry’s supported OS list.
- To install a downloaded package, follow its instructions or select Update driver in Device Manager and browse to the extracted driver folder. Restart if prompted, then test access with a compatible memory card.
Keep the driver updated through Windows Update when compatible updates are available. An update may help with recognition or stability issues, but a newer package is not automatically a better match for older hardware. If storage still fails to appear, check the USB connection and memory card before reinstalling the driver.
