MX390 series Driver

The Canon MX390 series driver connects your PIXMA all-in-one printer to Windows so compatible software can access its printing and scanning functions. You may need it when setting up the device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a printer that your computer no longer recognizes.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables compatible Windows applications to send documents and photos to your Canon MX390 series printer.
• Scan access: Allows supported scanning software to communicate with the scanner when the appropriate scanner driver is included in the package.
• Print settings: Provides access to options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality.
• Windows compatibility: Driver packages are available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; select the package that matches your operating system and architecture.

How to Install MX390 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit before choosing a package. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not listed among the supported systems here.
2. Choose the correct download. For an MX390 series driver download for Windows, select the latest version offered for your exact model and operating system. Use Canon’s official support resources for a free download rather than third-party driver utilities.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and close unnecessary applications. If you are using the setup installer, leave the USB cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve any Windows permission prompt, and follow the instructions to install the driver and any required components.
5. Test the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then print a test page. If you installed scanner support, try scanning a document as well.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible release when you encounter connection problems or after operating system changes. Before applying an update, review its compatibility notes: the latest version for another Windows release may not be suitable for your computer.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stops midway: Disconnect the USB cable, remove any existing Canon MX390 entries in Devices and Printers, reboot, then run the downloaded driver as administrator with antivirus temporarily paused.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MX390 is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network/SSID, or try another USB port and cable. For wireless setup, rerun Canon’s setup and select the exact MX390 model; restart router and printer if needed.
• Version conflicts after Windows updates: Uninstall older Canon MX390 printer/scanner drivers, then install the latest package for your Windows version. Avoid mixing 32-bit/64-bit or USB/network driver installs.
