Older peripheral devices such as printers may not function properly after upgrading to Windows 10. If you are using a Canon printer, then you should first take a look at Canon’s website to see the list of printers that will work with Windows 10.

If your printer model figures in the list but you are still facing printer problems, we have set out some possible solutions below.
Problem 1: Canon printer does not work in Windows 10
The first thing you need to do is to check if your Canon printer is switched on and connected to the PC in question. This may seem basic but it is surprisingly easy to overlook! If your printer is still not working, follow the steps set out below:
- Try running the printing Troubleshooter provided by Microsoft
- If that doesn’t solve the issue, it means that your printer may need new Printer Drivers. Check the printer manufacturer’s website for compatible Printer Drivers that will work with Windows 10.
Before installing the new Printer Drivers, you need to uninstall the printer by following the steps given below
- Open Start menu
- Click Devices and Printers
- Select your Canon Printer
- Select Remove Device from the top of the screen
- Reinstall the printer
- If Windows does not find a Driver, browse the printer manufacturer website for Drivers.
- Download the Driver and follow the instructions given by the printer manufacturer.

Alternatively you can get a Driver Update Tool to update the Drivers for you and keep them updated. To check for Driver Updates, follow the instructions on the Canon Drivers page.

Problem 2: No Windows 10 Printer Driver for your printer
Not all printer manufacturers are offering new Drivers that will work with Windows 10. In some cases, you might see the printer manufacturer has ended the support to the printer model you own. However, there is a way around this issue.
If your printer manufacturer is not offering Windows 10 compatible Printer Drivers, you can try Windows 8 Printer Drivers as they may work. In most cases, the Printer Driver is a .exe file. You need to uninstall the printer by starting from Step 4 above.
After you have removed the printer, you need to click on .exe Driver file and install the Printer Driver.
Problem 3: Printer is detected but you don’t have the Driver for the older printer
If your printer is detected after the upgrade, you need to follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer. When Windows 10 scans for connected devices, it will give you a few options if it does not find any Drivers. Here are the steps you need to follow
- Click the “The printer that I want isn’t listed” option. (Since we are adding a local printer, we will not discuss Network printer’s options that Windows gives you.)
- Select the option that says “My printer is a little older. Help me find it.”
- Click Next
- Windows 10 will now again search for the connected printer and hopefully install the printer using compatible Drivers in its database.
You can also install appropriate printer drivers on our Canon Drivers page using a Driver update tool.
My All-In-One Canon MP620 prints and copies, but wont scan. When I press start scanning it displays “preparing …” and after that it asks again to press “start scanning”. I’m using a Mac.
Hp Won't Scan Windows 10
- help me.is it no ink no scan?
- That worked for me Qiao Chan..Thanks
- If you own a Canon MP620, all in one printer and it will not scan because the ink cartridges are out of ink, this is what to do. Hold the stop button for at least 5 seconds, then the menu appears allowing you to scan. (You must have all the print cartridges in the printer regardless if they are out of ink or not, in order for this to work).
- Exact same problem here - and do confess, I do have one empty ink cartridge. DArn blue is out again. Doesn't affect my printing at all. I will get a cartirdge and let you know if it worked. Hard to belive it's a driver issue, given that it's been working fine for a year now, no problems, then suddenly - won't scan. Prints, copies fine - just won't scan. No error message either. Doesn't*seem* to be a driver issue (it's like it's happeing more at the printer/scanner end - not at the computer interface). I don't wanna mess with drivers until I rule out the crazy ink possiblity. We shall see!
- Having the same problem. When ever I go to Scanning App under windows and accessories, I press preview and it works but doesn't save the picture. When it worked it made a noise like it was printing kinda, but I want to post pictures on FB and it won't work. So tempted to call Geek Squad at Best Buy! Did you get it to work?
- I have the same exact problem, but with windows. How do uninstall the drivers?
- Montse,Behringer asio driver windows 10. Psp iso on psp. did you try to re-install the drivers and did you check the ink cartridges? Let us know how you were able to solve the problem or in case you need more help. Thank you!
- Probably the ink cartridges are empty. I have a Canon MP198, it won't scan until you replace the empty ink cartridges.
- Wow, that would be a weird requirement, I would actually call it a bug. Thanks for sharing, Aldrino!
- Uninstal the driver reboot windows and instal a new one from here

we can simply prevent windows from loading the filter driver.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass
{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}
This one is conveniently higher in the list (Should be 4th entry under Class)
Simply delete the usbfilter.sys upper filter entry.
Restart the machine. Printing will work again.
