MP190 series Driver

The Canon MP190 series driver connects your PIXMA all-in-one printer and scanner to Windows, allowing compatible applications to send print jobs and access scanning functions. You need it when setting up the device on a new computer, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a missing printer or scanner.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables communication between Windows and the MP190 series for everyday document and photo printing.
• Scanning access: Helps compatible scanning applications recognize the device so you can digitize documents and photos.
• Device settings: Provides access to available options such as paper size, print quality, and page layout.
• Windows compatibility: Driver packages are available for supported configurations of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; check the individual package before downloading.

How to Install MP190 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list here.
2. Select the matching package. Before starting your MP190 series driver download for Windows, verify that the package supports your operating system and device. Choose the latest version available for that configuration, not simply the newest file listed.
3. Download from a trusted source. Use Canon’s official support resources where possible. A free download should not require a paid driver-updater subscription.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if requested, and follow the instructions to install the driver. Connect the printer’s USB cable when prompted.
5. Test the connection. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page and try a scan. If either function is unavailable, check the USB connection and confirm that the correct driver package was installed.

Keep the driver updated by checking for a compatible update when you encounter printing or scanning problems, or after an operating system change. For older hardware, the latest version may still be an older release; compatibility matters more than release recency.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back on Windows 10/11: The MP190 installer is legacy. Run it as administrator, set compatibility to Windows 7, leave the USB cable disconnected until prompted, and temporarily pause antivirus.
• Printer/scanner not detected: Confirm the MP190 is powered on, connect directly to a USB 2.0 port (not a hub), try another cable, and restart the Print Spooler service. For scanning, open Canon ScanGear after the printer is recognized.
• Old driver/version conflicts: Uninstall previous Canon MP190/MP Drivers and ScanGear entries in Programs and Features, remove the device in Device Manager, reboot, then install the correct 32/64-bit package for your Windows version.
