Canon PRINT for Windows

Overview of Canon PRINT

Canon PRINT is a complimentary utility from Canon Inc. designed to simplify managing Canon printers and scanners from a PC. Previously named Canon Inkjet Smart Connect, the app provides a central way to access device features, keep settings organized, and make sure your hardware behaves as expected.

Key capabilities

• Automatic detection of connected Canon devices for quick setup
• Print both documents and high-quality photos directly from the app
• Scan pages and images to your computer or cloud storage
• Adjust paper formats and set print resolution in DPI for precise output
• Synchronize documents and images across devices when signed in to a Canon account

Quick setup checklist

1. Download and run the Canon PRINT installer for Windows.
2. (Optional) Create or sign into your Canon account to enable cloud features.
3. Connect the printer or scanner to your PC and allow the app to search for it.
4. Open the app, choose paper size and DPI, then save your preferences.
5. Start printing or scanning once the device shows as connected.

Compatibility notes

Not every Canon model is supported by Canon PRINT. Before relying on it, confirm that your specific printer or scanner appears on Canon’s official compatibility list. If your model isn’t listed, some features may be missing or the device may not be recognized by the utility.

Alternative: Canon LBP2900b driver

If you have an older Canon LBP2900b or another model that Canon PRINT doesn’t support, you can install the dedicated driver instead:

• Download the appropriate LBP2900b driver package for your operating system.
• Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
• Reboot your computer if prompted, then connect the printer and test a sample print.

This driver provides basic printing functionality when the full Canon PRINT utility isn’t available for your model.

Bottom line

Canon PRINT is a useful, user-friendly tool for getting the most out of supported Canon printers and scanners. Installation is straightforward, and once set up it simplifies printing, scanning, and device configuration. Just verify compatibility for your model before relying on it, and use the dedicated LBP2900b driver if your device needs a more basic driver-only solution.
