Canon mf4800 driver for windows 7 drivers#
The drivers for the Windows 8 operating system do work on Windows 8.1. I recommend performing a full uninstall and reinstall of the drivers, using the instructions below:ġ. I understand that you are having issues with the printing and scanning functions now that the printer is connected to your Windows 8.1 operating system. Does anyone else have better info on this, ie, is it worth keeping the machine past the return window on the chance that Canon might update the drivers? Meanwhile, be warned that if you have a machine in this series and want to upgrade to Win 8.1, you're asking for it. Pretty shocked Canon would not have updated drivers for the OS now being sold on new PCs, especially when the OS has been out in developer stage for months. "Could be two days, could be six months," one rep said. Imagine my frustration when I contacted Canon and they said, no, we have no drivers, and "probably" will, but there's no way to know when. In fact, it's almost completely nonfunctional, with limited printing capability, but no scanning or two-way communication with the PC. But I checked Windows Compatibility site before upgrading to Win 8.1, and this machine was listed as "compatible." The 4880 was working great in Win 8 environment which is where I should have left things. Understandable, i guess, as it was fairly old. I just purchased a 4880 to replace perfectly workable older machine, 4150, because Canon never put out Win 8 drivers that worked well for scanning on that machine.
