    Here's how I got my Canon MP620 to work on windows10 desktop, hard wired, AND it scans


    Since all the threads on this question seem to be closed, just thought I'd post and share my success. Mind you, SIX hours later... (I shoulda just bought a new printer and ditched the old Canon620, which was working perfectly fine off old software on an old Vista machine which... R.I.P. -- but, it's the PRINCIPLE. Plus I have lots of ink cartridges stockpiled for it.)


    THIS IS FOR A HARD-WIRED connection.


    As others have said,

    1) First, on the printer's little display, under settings look for the LAN settings menu, choose that, and go to "change wired/wireless," and choose "wired." NO idea if this matters, but it was part of what worked for me.

    2) Now make sure the printer is NOT connected to the computer, and is off.

    3) go to Canon support website and download the driver for MP620. They don't have one for Windows10 (arghh) so choose 8.1 (mine was the x64 version). I used the simpler "driver" download, not the "mini-master." Once downloaded, open it IN COMPATIBILITY MODE (when you open the file to run it, right click and select properties, look for the tab that lists compatibility as an option, and choose 8.0). I also chose "run as administrator" - don't know if that matters.

    4) when it's done its thing, plug in the printer and turn it on.

    5) I did have to then go to settings, printers, and (since CanonMP620 wasn't listed there) add it as a printer manually. The port I chose was "USB001 Virtual Printer Port". (I had it connected to one of the many USB ports I have... doubt if it matters which one you use.) At this point I was able to get a test page to print!! (After many tries of various configurations yielding "error: printer not responding," and lotsa re-starts, and some liquor.)


    FOR SCANNING -

    Optimistically, I tried pushing the printer's scanner button to scan something and of course it would not initialize. So - figured there was a piece of software missing for the scanning function. I tried the often-suggested scanner software called "MF toolbox 49" download but while installing, it found my printer and declared "no port created." wha?? Tried various things to try to remedy that, and completely ruined my installation (now printer no longer showed up on the list of printers) -- so I recommend you SKIP that unless you know a lot about creating ports.

    What worked was just using the SCAN app that was already installed with Windows10. Works just fine. (Who knew there WAS a scan app?). The Canon only shows up as "device" on the list of scanner options in this app (it sees other wireless machines in the house, but not the wired-in Canon), but it works under that name ("device").

    :)

    Canon Mp620 driver for windows10

    Anyone get scanning to work with the MP620 and Windows 10? I can print to the 620 OK but when I select scan on the printer the display tells me to "Set the PC to start scan". No where to start scan that I could find on Win10.

    Driver version: 2.22.2.20

    This worked OK with Win8.1 and I realize Canon says the MP620 Win10 is only "sorta" supported, maybe I missed something along the way. Also know the printer is not a new model but it works fine and I had no intention of replacing it.

    Canon Mp620 driver for windows10

    On Windows 10, I can scan and print stuff from front tray; but no luck with envelopes. Have downloaded driver from Canon for Win 8.1. No change. I like this MP620; and Canon should continue supporting it.
