It has worked for years. It was in the basement and we printed using a laptop running windows 7. It was moved upstairs and connected to my PC running windows 10 and it worked. I had to do a clean instal and now it won't even come up as a USB device plugged in. Now it no longer works with the laptop. Any ideas?

After your computer restarts and you are on your Desktop screen, before you re-connect the printer to your computer, you can download and install drivers and software for your printer by following the steps below.

5. Under the Recommended Download section click on the file named MF Drivers. After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree to terms. Download and save the file to your computer. Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation. You will also need to download the MF Toolbox file as well.

Note: Driver and application software files have been compressed. The following instructions show you how to download the compressed files and decompress them.

1. To download files, click [I Agree-Begin Download] icon, select [Save], and specify the directory where you want to save the file. Click [Save] to start the file download.

3. Double-click the files to decompress them. A new folder will be created in the same folder. The new folder will have the same name as the compressed file.

4. Double-click the decompressed Setup.exe file to start installation.

Hi. I was given this printer a couple of days ago; however, I cannot get my Windows 11 pc to recognize it. I downloaded the driver and the tool box, but I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions? Should I give up? I saw that some people were able to get this working with Windows 10, but cannot find any help for Windows 11. Thank you.

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The imageCLASS MF4450 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

It only connects via USB. The drivers should be installed before you connect the device to the computer. This is a very important step. Also, the printer needs to be connected directly to the computer, not using a hub or adapters.

Please note the instructions. > This patch resolves an issue that prevents scanning over a network or with a USB connection after upgrading Windows to a newer version. If you cannot scan over a network or with a USB connection, install this patch. If installing (or reinstalling) the MF driver, be sure to first restart (not shut down) your PC after driver installation is complete, and then install this patch.

If you have any failed instances of the printer.. where you attempted to install, but did not succeed, these should be removed manually, and the system restarted before attempting again. Example image from windows 10, but 11 is similar.

No. I mean run the executable and do not connect the printer until prompted to do so. With USB devices, you typically install the drivers before connecting the device. This is because Windows will attempt to install generic drivers once it's detects a peripheral has been connected. These may or may not work. They also don't typically support all the features of the device.

Once installed and connected, open notepad and type a few characters. Press CTRL+P. Select the printer as the destination and press print. This should Tell you if the device is installed and compatible.

I followed the instructions, hopefully to a tee. I had already installed the drivers, but missed the step about connecting the usb, so I uninstalled everything, rebooted, and did it again. I do not see the canon printer in the dialog when I do CTRL+P. However, it's in "Printers and Scanners".
