Best Answer: Yep you sure can. I always try from the manufactures site 1st.

Try finding the drivers you need from here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/opd/controller?…

• google for the driver. or better yet, go to this link :

  http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=334&modelid=9722

  AFAIK, for computer peripherals, unless you’re using an unknown manufacturer peripheral, you can usually find their drivers at the manufacturer websites. For instance, graphic drivers for nvidia cards are always available at their site. So should your printer too. If the link above didn’t work, just go to www.canon.com and try to find it.

• Well dear, drivers are the softwares necessary to make your hardware work. For every hardware there is a software, so that your computer can read it, recognise it, and make it work accordingly. Its just like “Driving your car, drive your hardware, so they are called drivers”.
  If you have lost the CD-ROM,no worries, if you can connect to the internet, goto this page of canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro… and select appropriate options to download/save from internet, the appropriate drivers onto your computer.
  once downloaded,locate the folder where you have saved the file, look for SETUP.EXE icon and give a double click, and follow the instructions to install.

  Hope it will resolve your issue.
  Best of luck !

• Plz search on www.google.com for the best drivers.
  Because there is no other way to install drivers.
• yea i think if you go to canon’s website you should be able to find what you need.
• Plug the printer in and turn it on, then reboot the puter

  i think windows should find it and load the driver.

  If this doesnt work go to device manager and load the driver yourself.

  In XP
  right click the My Computer icon on the desktop – properties-hardware tab=device manager-imaging device

  if there is nothing under imaging device you can scan for a device (right click) or if there is something there you can right click that and find a driver from the list.

  The above will only work if it is a printer. If your cannon is a multifunction thing then ignore this.

  Go to the cannon website and download and install the driver. You should find it from the downloads or support part of the website.
