Win 8.1 driver for my MX870 printer

Just got a new Dell with Windows 8.1. When I plugged in my MX870, Windows installed a driver. The driver for printing seems similar to the Canon original driver I got 2-3 years ago and installed on my old Dell running Vista.
But, I don't see a Canon driver for scanning with the MX870. I do see the lame Windows Fax and Scanner applet, but that really is lame.
I see that the Canon web page has a Windows 8 driver for the printer. So, always cautious about installing anything- I presume I should uninstall the driver that Windows 8.1 installed, then install the driver on the Canon web site?
If so, should I install the driver with the printer NOT connected to the computer?
thanks,
Joe

Hi JoeZ,
You don't have to uninstall the drivers that were already installed by Windows; you can just download and install the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website.  Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX870.  Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the MP drivers file, please follow the steps above to also download the rest of the software for the printer, except in Step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the word SOFTWARE to display and download the software.
Hope this helps!

  • Win 7 x64 Driver for a 32bit CF Cardbus Adapter (x61)

    Does anyone know where I can get a Win 7 x64 driver for a 32bit CF cardbus adapter mounted in the Lenovo x61 internal multicard reader?
    I am running Win 7 x64 on a Lenovo X61 7675-CTO.  I have an Viking 32 Bit High Speed Compact Flash Cardbuss Adapter inserted in the internal multicard reader.  When I insert a CF card in the reader, I get  "Mass Storage Controller" and "drivers for this device are not installed" error indicators from the Windows Device Manager.   
    This configuration was working fine for me under Win XP x32.  I read the suggestion posted to another thread that one can downgrade to Win 7 x32, but I am hoping for a X64 solution.  I have already installed the "6iio10ww" Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit).  The problem seems to be that Viking has not released a x64 driver for this product.  It seems Microsoft should have installed the proper driver during the OS install since this device was around before the Win 7 was introduced.
    Can anyone suggest a source for the proper driver or an alternative CF card cardbus adapter known to work with Win 7 x64 OS?

    Thanks!
    Apologies for now double-posting: new thread

  • Need a 32-bit windows home server driver for a cp2025 printer

    I have a Windows Home Server 2011, and multiple Windows XP workstations. I need an XP driver for a CP2025DN printer that I can load onto the WHS 2011, as I want to configure the WHS as a Print Server. The WHS does not recognize (like) the HP Universal drivers, and I do not want to use the Express install download packages. All I need is a driver, like we used to be able to download.
    Anyone have any suggestions/hints?

    those may be helpful...

  • HOW DO I GET A DRIVER FOR MY KODAK PRINTER ESP 3.2 FOR IMAC

    I AM SETING UP MY NEW IMAC, HOW DO I GET A DRIVER FOR MY KODAK PRINTER ESP 3.2

    Kodak has posted an unsupported hack that has been reported to enable printing to a Kodak printer not supported in OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite").
    I have not tested the hack myself. As far as I know it will not break the compatibility of printing software that is already compatible with Yosemite. It may degrade the security of the printing system. It's up to you to decide whether that risk is worth taking.

  • How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1?

    How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1? I go to the right place on the Brother website and instead of downloading a driver it says there is a problem. Also something I did download and stuff on the CD provided with the printer is for a PC not a MAc. Help please.

    OK, connecting a Wi-Fi printer is a 2 step process.
    Connect printer to your network
    Have computer to "see" printer on the network.
    Follow Apple's steps for connecting a Wi-Fi printer in Printing in OS X. Read the article in it's entirety before installing.

  • How to install Windows 7 64 bit driver for Canon i9100 Printer?

    When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver.  Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver.  Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed.  I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver.  Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you,
    David

    Hi Honeycutt,
    The Windows 7 driver for your i9100 is only available from Microsoft through Windows Update.  Please try Microsoft's web page for assistance with troubleshooting this:

  • Win XP 64 driver for hp laserjet pro 200 color mfp m276nw

    Hi, any workaround for using this printer under XP-64?
    Maybe driver rename or compatible generic?
    Just bought it, unpacked, connected - and found out that XP 64 is not supported.
    Now what? Return in disgust and buy Cannon or Minolta again, as they support all OS?

  • Windows 7 driver for 3500 color printer

    I need a windows 7 driver for my 3500 color laserjet printer.  Windows XP is the latest driver listed on the website.

    The latest Vista drivers for this printer on THIS page shows one of the enhancements as supporting Windows 7. So it should install fine. Do notice that this is the v.13 software.
    EDIT: Just downloaded the version 13 software, and tried installing it. It seemed to go through fine, though I don't have the printer physically here. Check the screenshot.

  • Re: Satellite L70-A-13E and Win 8: Twain driver for built-in webcam required

    Hi,
    My application require TWAIN DRIVER for Web Camera of Satellite L70-A-13E on Windows 8.1.
    Would you please tell me how can I get it?
    regards
    Nevzat

    The TWAIN driver is a software.
    For example you want to take a picture from built-in web camera by using your application.
    Your application accesses to web camera via twain driver.
    Just like printer driver. With printer driver you can send your documents to printer via printer driver.
    With the TWAIN driver you can access to WEB CAM and capture the picture and save the picture image
    yo your application.
    Almost all of the external web cameras have TWAIN drivers. Twain driver is become defacto.
    I asked the TWAIN driver here because my note book has built-in web camera.
    I may access to built-in web camera via TWAIN drivers. Is the any way you know?
    I have been using these TWAIN drivers over 20 years in my application.
    For getting picture from camera or from scanner.
    Best regards

  • Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?

    I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.
