The Canon Selphy DS810 driver connects your Canon photo printer to Windows, allowing compatible applications to send print jobs and access printer settings. Installing the appropriate driver helps Windows recognize the device and provides controls for preparing photos before printing.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Enables a compatible Windows installation to detect the Canon Selphy DS810 and send documents or photos to its print queue.
• Paper and layout settings: Provides access to supported paper sizes, orientation, and layout options so you can match the print setup to your loaded media.
• Photo print adjustments: Offers available quality and media-type settings to help you balance output quality with your printing needs.
• Print job management: Works with the Windows print queue, where you can check pending jobs and cancel unwanted prints.

How to Install

1. Check compatibility first. Confirm your Windows version and system architecture under Settings or System Properties. If you use Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, verify that the download explicitly supports your version; an older Canon Selphy DS810 driver should not be assumed compatible with every listed system.
2. Download the appropriate package. Choose a driver specifically intended for this printer and your operating system. If the download is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation.
3. Prepare the printer. Connect the power supply and switch on the device. When using an installer, leave the USB cable disconnected until its instructions ask you to connect it.
4. Run the installation. Open the setup file, approve any Windows permission prompt, and follow the on-screen directions. Connect the printer when requested and allow Windows to finish detecting it.
5. Verify the result. Open the Windows printer settings and check that the Canon Selphy DS810 appears. Select the correct paper size and media type, then print a test photo.

If no compatible package is available for your Windows version, check Canon’s support resources before attempting a workaround. Avoid forcing an unrelated driver, which may leave printing functions unavailable.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the SELPHY DS810’s USB cable until the Canon installer asks for it, run setup as administrator, and reboot before retrying. Connecting the printer too early can leave the driver half-installed.
• Printer not detected: Use a direct rear USB port and a known-good cable, not a hub. Power the DS810 on, confirm the paper/ink cassette is seated, then check Device Manager for an unknown USB device and restart the Print Spooler.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon SELPHY/DS-series drivers and utilities, remove the printer from Devices and Printers, reboot, then install the correct 32/64-bit package. On Windows 10/11, try compatibility mode if setup still fails.
