CanonMX720 series Driver

The CanonMX720 series driver connects your Canon PIXMA MX720-series multifunction printer to Windows so compatible software can access its printing and scanning functions. Install it when setting up the device, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a missing printer or scanner. Although sometimes listed under Camera, this Canon series is a multifunction printer rather than a camera.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables compatible Windows applications to send documents and photos to the printer, with access to settings such as paper size, media type, and print quality.
• Scanning access: A compatible scanner driver allows supported applications to communicate with the device for document and photo scanning.
• Connection options: Supports communication through the connection methods covered by your model and driver package, such as USB or a local network.
• Windows compatibility: Driver options cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; availability and included functions depend on the selected package and system architecture.

How to Install CanonMX720 series Driver

1. Check your device and Windows version. Confirm the exact model on the printer label and whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed as supported here, but Windows 11 support should be verified separately.
2. Select the correct package. Before starting your CanonMX720 series driver download for Windows, match the package to your operating system and connection type. Choose the latest version available for that configuration, rather than assuming one installer supports every Windows release.
3. Download from a trusted source. Use Canon’s official support resources when possible for a free download. Check whether you need a printing driver, a scanner driver, or a package containing both.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the setup instructions. Connect the USB cable when prompted, or ensure the printer and computer are on the same local network for network setup.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning support, test a scan in a compatible application as well.

Keep the driver updated when Canon provides a compatible update or when you need to resolve a specific connection, printing, or scanning issue. Review compatibility notes before replacing a working driver, especially on older Windows versions, and avoid packages that do not explicitly support your system.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installation fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until Canon setup prompts for it, close other printer software, and run the installer as administrator. Remove previous Canon MX720 series entries in Settings > Apps, then reboot before retrying.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MX720 is powered on and connected directly to a rear USB port, not a hub. For wireless, verify the PC and printer are on the same network and rerun Canon’s network setup.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon MX720 drivers and scanner software first, then install the correct 32-bit/64-bit package for your Windows version. If Windows reinstalls an old driver, remove the device in Device Manager and rescan.
