The Canon PIXMA MX455 driver connects this all-in-one printer to your Windows computer, allowing applications to send print jobs and access supported device settings. Installing the appropriate Canon software also helps you use scanning features and manage everyday document tasks. Choose a package that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its compatibility notes before installing.

Key Features

• Print settings and paper controls: Adjust paper size, media type, print quality, and page layout to suit documents, photos, or other everyday printing needs.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver lets scanning applications communicate with the PIXMA MX455 so you can save paper documents and images as digital files. Scanning utilities may be supplied separately.
• USB and wireless setup: Configure communication through a USB connection or over a supported Wi-Fi network, depending on your setup and the options included in the download.
• Status and maintenance tools: Compatible Canon utilities can help you monitor printer messages and access maintenance functions such as nozzle checks and print-head cleaning.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows configuration. Open your computer’s system information to confirm the Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Verify that the selected driver explicitly supports your configuration; compatibility can vary between packages.

1. Download the appropriate package. Select the Canon PIXMA MX455 printer driver for your system. If you also need scanning, check whether the download includes scanner support or requires an additional Canon package.

1. Prepare the printer. Turn it on, load paper, and clear any errors shown on its display. For wireless installation, connect the printer and computer to the same local network. For USB installation, leave the cable disconnected until the installer requests it.

1. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the setup instructions. Select the connection method you intend to use, then allow installation to finish.

1. Confirm operation. Find the printer in Windows printer settings and print a test page. If you installed scanner software, try a sample scan as well. Restart the computer if prompted, and check the connection if the device is not detected.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the MX455 USB cable, remove older Canon PIXMA software, then run the downloaded setup as administrator. Reconnect USB only when the installer prompts.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MX455 is powered on and use a direct USB port/cable, not a hub. Check Printers & scanners and Device Manager for unknown devices, then reinstall the full Canon driver package. For Wi-Fi, reconnect using Canon’s setup utility.
• Driver/version conflicts, especially scanning: Remove leftover Canon driver packages via Apps and Print Server Properties, reboot, and install the 32/64-bit package matching Windows. Install the scanner driver from the same MX455 package.
