It’s essential to keep the drivers for your Canon products up to date so as to keep it in tip top condition and nip all sorts of problems like system crashes, printer not printing issues in the bud.

In this post, we’re going to show you 2 safe and easy ways to get the latest driver for your Canon products .

Choose the way you prefer

Both options work inWindows 10/8/7 to help you get the latest Canon drivers. Just decide if you want to do it automatically or manually and take your pick:

1. Update your Canon driver automatically (Recommended)
2. Update your Canon driver manually

Option 1: Update your Canon driver automatically (Recommended)

If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update your drivers manually, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy .

Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don’t need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don’t need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don’t need to worry about making a mistake when installing. Driver Easy handles it all.

You can update your drivers automatically with either the FREE or the Pro version of Driver Easy. But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee):

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
   
3. Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of ALL the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you clickUpdate All ).
   
   You can also click Update to do it for free if you like, but it’s partly manual.

4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Option 2: Update your Canon driver manually

Canon keeps updating drivers. To get them, you need to go to Canon’s official website, find the drivers corresponding with your specific flavor of Windows version (for example, Windows 32 bit) and download the driver manually.

Warning : Downloading the wrong driver or installing it incorrectly will compromise your PC’s stability and even cause the whole system to crash. So please proceed at your own peril.

Before heading to download the latest driver package from Canon ‘s official website, we’ll first have to uninstall the old driver first. To do so:

1. Go to Canon’s official website , type Canon MF4770n in the box, and press Enter .
2. Check outDRIVERS & DOWNLOADS under theSupport section.
3. Typethe name of your Canon product and clickGo .
   
4. ClickDRIVERS & DOWNLOADS under your model name. (Here I take PIXMA PRO-10 as an example.)

5. Make sure the detected Windows version is the right variant of your Windows OS and clickSELECT inthe first result to make sure to download the latest driver release.

6. ClickDOWNLOAD .

7. Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to finish the install. You might want to consult the download & install manual executable file if needed.
8. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Now congrats – you’ve installed the latest driver for your Canon products. Hope this helps and feel free to drop us a comment if you have any further questions, thank you. ?
