MX880 series Driver

The Canon MX880 series driver helps Windows communicate with your PIXMA all-in-one printer so you can print documents and use supported scanning functions. You may need it when setting up the device, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a printer or scanner that your computer no longer recognizes. Although sometimes listed under camera downloads, the MX880 series is a printer range, so check the model on your device before choosing a package.

Key Features

• Enables communication between compatible Windows computers and Canon MX880 series printers.
• Provides access to printing preferences such as paper size, media type, and print quality.
• Supports scanning when the appropriate scanner driver or multifunction package is installed.
• Helps restore device recognition after a system reinstall or resolve problems caused by a missing or incorrect driver.

How to Install MX880 series Driver

1. Confirm your exact printer model and Windows edition. For your MX880 series driver download for Windows, select a package matching Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, as applicable, and check whether your system requires a 32-bit or 64-bit driver.
2. Look for the latest version compatible with your model and operating system. Use a trusted source for the free download, and review the package details before saving it.
3. Turn on the printer and run the downloaded installer. For a USB connection, wait to connect the cable until prompted, unless the installation instructions say otherwise.
4. Follow the setup prompts to install the driver and select the connection method supported by your printer and package. Restart Windows if requested.
5. Print a test page and, if you installed scanning support, test a scan. If setup fails, recheck the model, connection, and driver compatibility.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves operation. When checking Windows 10/11 compatibility, remember that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list here; verify Canon’s guidance rather than assuming a Windows 10 package will work. Avoid replacing a working driver with a package intended for a different model or Windows edition.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installer fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable, close Canon IJ Setup and any print/scan jobs, run the installer as administrator, and temporarily disable third-party antivirus. Reboot before retrying.
• Printer not detected over USB/Wi-Fi: For USB, try another port/cable and avoid hubs; for Wi-Fi, confirm the PC and MX880 series are on the same network, enable network discovery, and rerun Canon wireless setup.
• Version conflicts or duplicate queues: Remove old Canon MX880 series drivers in Settings > Apps and Printers & scanners, delete stale queues, reboot, then install the latest Canon package for your Windows version.
