The Canon MX497 Driver is a free application provided by Canon to help make it easier for users to control the various functions and features that are in the printer.
Without a driver, some features and functions of the printer usually cannot be controlled via the computer, and in some cases the computer cannot detect the printer at all. Therefore, before using the printer for printing, first install the driver so that all the features and functions embedded in it can be controlled and run optimally.
Canon itself has actually provided a driver CD that is included in the purchase box, but because it is rarely used the CD is usually lost or even damaged. If you encounter this problem, you don't need to worry because you can still install the driver without a CD by using the driver installation file provided here.
By using the installation file, the process will be easier even you can install directly on a computer or laptop that is not equipped with a CD room. Canon MX497 itself is an all-in-one printer that is equipped with the ability to print, scan, and copy. This printer, which is capable of printing A4 pages, can print black and white pages at a speed of 8.8 ipm.
Driver Type Canon MX497
Canon provides two types of drivers that you can choose according to your needs. If you only need to install the driver for print and scan, you can install the driver using the standard version.
Meanwhile, if you want to install the driver along with other printer support software, you can use the full version. The driver files available here are compatible with various versions of Windows, from Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 whether it's the 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
