Windows 10: Cannot download Canon Printer MF3010 scanning driver into Windows 10.

Dell XPS2720 with Windows 10 cannot download Canon printer scanning driver, get error message "incompatible program".

:)

 

I am trying to install a canon I-sensys MF3010 printer

There seem to be quite a few instances of this error reported but unfortunately I haven't seen any confirmed solution.

Here are 3 suggestions.

1. Start the computer in "clean boot" configuration and see if you can install using either the CD that came with the printer or the downloaded driver (see 2. below). To start Windows 7 in a clean boot configuration:

• click Start, type msconfig into the Search box, and press Enter
• On the "General" tab, click the radio button for "Selective startup"
• Clear the "Load startup items" check box
• Click the "Services" tab
• Select the "Hide all Microsoft services check box" (at the bottom)
• Click Disable all
• Click OK
• Click Restart
  
  Do the installation. When you are done (whether or not the install works properly), run msconfig again, select the radio button for "Normal startup" click OK and restart the computer.
  
  
  
  2. Download the driver from the Canon website and see if that installs.

  3. Ask Canon for help. The Canon "i-SENSYS" line of printers appears to be the name used in European markets for Canon printers marketed in the U.S. as "imageCLASS" printers.

Windows 10 drivers for Canon MX452 Printer

Sayan,

I tried all of the suggestions you gave me & none of them worked. In answer to the questions, I have no other error messages. It keeps adding the Canon MX450 printer instead of the MX452. I had other problems but I fixed them. I typed in devmgmt.msc
& typed it in again. The drop down list came up but did not have the name OTHER in it. When I clicked on the PIXMA MX452 driver download & clicked on Start Download I got 2 boxes. Step 1 RUN & Step 2 Click YES. I clicked 0n Step 1 but it never gets to
Step 2. I really don't like the Windows 10 that was automatically forced on me. Any other suggestions ? Donn

 

driver for a Canon printer.

I want to use a different printer from my normal. The different printer is a Canon MF220. when I google for a driver the Canon website doesnt show a driver for this. (I know the printer is maybe 6 years old )

Then I scanned the google suggestions and tried megaify software driverscape.com. Half way downloading my laptop warned it might not be a safe site.

Hoiw can I ; (a) get Canon to release a driver

(b) establish if Megaify is safe as a driver

(c) find another safe driver supplier.

Thank you for your help

Regards
