02 Install and test the Imageclass MF445dw
Check the exact model name
Read the full model name on the printer label. It should match Imageclass MF445dw exactly; printers with similar names can need different software.
Download the package for your system
On Canon's support site, choose your operating system version. Pick the full software package for a first-time setup, or just the printer driver if the printer already works with another computer.
Run the installer and connect the printer
Follow the installer prompts for USB or Wi-Fi. For USB, connect the cable only when the installer asks. For Wi-Fi, keep the printer and computer on the same network.
Check that it worked
Print a test page from your system printer settings. To check scanning, open the scanner software and run a preview scan; printing and scanning are installed separately.
03 Troubleshooting
The installer cannot find the printer
Check the connection first. For USB, try another port and cable. For Wi-Fi, make sure the printer shows a network connection on its panel and that your computer is on the same network, then run the installer again.
The printer is installed but shows as offline
Turn the printer off and on, then remove and re-add it in your system printer settings. On Wi-Fi, a changed router or IP address is a common cause.
My operating system is not in the list
Check Canon's support site for your exact system version. Newer versions of Windows and macOS often include a built-in driver for older printers, so try adding the printer in system settings first.
Printing works but scanning does not
Scanning needs its own scanner driver or scan app. Install the scanner package for your system, then select this printer inside the scan software.
