The Canon PRO 100 series driver allows Windows to communicate with your Canon photo printer and send print jobs over a supported network connection. Installing the correct driver gives you access to printer-specific settings, helping you select suitable paper options and output quality for photos and everyday documents.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Enables compatible Windows computers to send print jobs to the printer through its configured Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
• Printer-specific controls: Provides access to supported paper sizes, media types, print quality settings, and layout options rather than relying solely on basic Windows printing controls.
• Photo output adjustments: Offers settings for managing color and print quality, allowing you to tailor output to your paper and workflow.
• Status and maintenance access: Depending on the driver package and connection, provides printer status information and access to supported maintenance functions.

How to Install

1. Choose the appropriate package. Select a Canon PRO 100 series driver listed for your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Check the package’s compatibility details and whether it matches your system architecture before downloading.
2. Prepare the network connection. Turn on the printer and confirm that it is connected to the same local network as your computer. If the printer has not yet joined the network, complete its network setup using Canon’s setup instructions.
3. Launch the installer. Open the downloaded file and allow it to make changes if Windows asks. Follow the setup prompts and select the network connection option when available.
4. Select your printer. Choose the Canon PRO 100 series from the detected devices and finish installation. If it does not appear, check the printer’s network connection and make sure your computer is not connected to a guest network that blocks local devices.
5. Verify printing. Open Windows printer settings, select the installed printer, and print a test page. Before printing photos, review the paper size, media type, and quality settings to match the paper loaded in the printer.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installation fails or stalls: Disconnect the PRO-100 series printer, run the Canon setup as administrator, and connect/power on only when prompted. Do not let Windows auto-add the printer before the Canon driver finishes.
• Device not detected: Use a direct USB 2.0 port and cable—not a hub—and confirm the printer is on. For Wi-Fi, re-run wireless setup on the same network and check the printer’s IP; for USB, look for an unknown device in Device Manager.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove old PRO-100/PRO-100S printer entries and Canon software in Printers & scanners, reboot, then install the latest PRO-100 series driver for your Windows version. Don’t mix PRO-100 and PRO-100S packages.
