Sometimes you plug in the Canon iR3045, and nothing happens. No printing, no scanning — just silence from Windows. That’s usually because the system doesn’t have the right driver. It’s a common issue, especially with new devices or after a recent update.

Here’s what to do: figure out which version of Windows you’re using — 10 or 11 — and whether it’s 32-bit or 64-bit. That helps you download the right file. Head to our website, check the driver table, find the right match, and save the file. We’ve tested each one, so you won’t run into compatibility issues.

Once you’ve got it, close any unnecessary programs and run the installer. Take your time, follow the prompts. When installation is done, restart your PC. And if something’s still off — head to our troubleshooting section. It’s written in plain language and can help if your device isn’t showing up or the driver won’t install.
