MX700 series Driver

The Canon MX700 series driver helps Windows communicate with your PIXMA MX700 multifunction printer for printing and scanning. If you are setting up the device, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a connection problem, installing the correct driver is an important first step. Although sometimes listed under camera hardware, the MX700 series is a printer and scanner, so choose software for that product family.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables compatible applications to send documents and photos to the MX700, with access to settings such as paper size, print quality, and layout.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver lets scanning software communicate with the device to capture documents and images.
• Device communication: Helps Windows recognize the printer over a supported connection; network setup may require additional Canon software.
• System-specific installation: Using a package matched to your Windows edition and system architecture helps avoid installation errors and missing functions.

How to Install MX700 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit. This page lists Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but verify that the individual download explicitly supports your operating system.
2. Select the correct package. Before starting your MX700 series driver download for Windows, check the model name and compatibility details. Choose the latest version available for your supported system, rather than assuming the newest package works everywhere.
3. Download and prepare. Obtain the driver as a free download from a trusted source, preferably Canon’s official support resources. Turn on the printer and follow the package instructions about when to connect it.
4. Install the software. Run the downloaded installer, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the setup instructions for your connection type.
5. Test the device. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page and try scanning with compatible software.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves operation. For Windows 10/11, check Canon’s compatibility information carefully: Windows 11 is not among the listed supported systems, and an older driver should not be assumed to work. If your current setup is stable, review release notes before replacing it.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until the Canon installer prompts you; run setup as administrator. Clear stuck print jobs and restart the Print Spooler service before retrying.
• Device not detected: For USB, use a rear direct port and a known-good cable, not a hub. For Ethernet, confirm the MX700 has a valid IP on the same subnet, then re-add it by IP.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Canon MX700 series MP Drivers and scanner software, remove the printer in Devices and Printers, reboot, then install the full package matching your Windows version and bitness.
