The Canon PRO 100 series driver allows Windows to communicate with your Canon printer, enabling print-job delivery and access to device-specific settings. For network printing, it helps your computer use the printer over a compatible local connection, so you can send documents and photos without connecting the printer directly to each PC.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Use the Canon PRO 100 series over a configured Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, provided the printer and computer can communicate on that network.
• Printer-specific controls: Access options such as paper size, media type, print quality, and page layout through the Windows printing interface.
• Photo-printing adjustments: Configure supported color and quality settings to suit your images and selected paper. Available controls depend on the driver package and application.
• Windows integration: Adds the printer to Windows so compatible applications can select it as a print destination and manage jobs through the print queue.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Identify whether you are running Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and confirm your system architecture. Choose a Canon PRO 100 series driver package that explicitly supports your Windows version; compatibility can vary between releases.

1. Prepare the printer and network. Turn on the printer and complete its Wi-Fi or Ethernet setup. Connect your computer to the same local network, avoiding guest networks that may prevent devices from discovering one another.

1. Download and start the installer. Save the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and open the setup program. Approve the Windows administrator prompt if one appears.

1. Select the network connection. Follow the installer’s instructions and choose the network printer option when offered. Select your Canon PRO 100 series from the detected devices. If it is not listed, check the network connection and use manual discovery by IP address if the installer provides that option.

1. Finish setup and test printing. Complete the installation, restart Windows if prompted, 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

• Installer fails or rolls back: Disconnect the printer, remove any existing Canon PRO-100/PRO-100S driver in Apps & Features and Device Manager, reboot, then run the downloaded setup as administrator. Temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks the installer.
• Printer not detected: Connect the PRO-100 series directly to a rear USB port (not a hub), power it on, and try another cable. For Wi-Fi, confirm the PC and printer are on the same network and rerun Canon’s setup utility.
• Driver/version conflicts: Delete duplicate PRO-100 series printer entries and stale ports in Printers & scanners, clear the print queue, then install only the latest Canon driver. Set the correct printer as default and reboot before test printing.
