Hi Chadman2007,

Welcome to the Canon forum! Your printer's model number should be located on the top and/or the front of your printer. Canon printer models usually have model names that begin with 2 or 3 letters--such as iP, MP, MF, MX, MG, MB, or LBP, to name a few--followed by as many as 4 numerals. Once you find this, you will have found your printer's model number.

If you need help looking it up by the serial number or if this is an urgent support need, please CLICK HERE to reach our friendly Technical Support Team by phone or email.

Thank you!

Hi! A serial number beginning with "LRH" corresponds to the Canon PIXMA E510 multifunction printer. This printer is not offered through or supported by Canon USA.

We hope this helps!

Hi pixmakjlm,

The model number would be on the front edge of the printer, or near the display of the printer. It will begin with "PIXMA" and then 2 letters, MX, MG, TS, TR, etc, and then 3 or 4 numbers.

Also, on the back of the printer, there should be a number that starts with K and if you and provide that number, we can look up the model. Example would be K1056 or similar.

To clarify Patrick's response, we have not made a printer with a serial number beginning with "KJLM." As he mentioned, your printer's model name should be clearly visible on the top and/or front of the unit. Feel free to include a photo of it if you're unsure.

Hope this helps!

Your printer model should be on the top of your printer, above the power button, or on the front of the printer. If you send photos we can help you find it. We still don't see that beginning for US model printers.

Hi, Jenn1

Per the instructions above - your printer model is listed on the front panel of your printer, or on the top of your printer. Usually it's near the PIXMA logo. Most of our current printer models start with MG, MX, TS, and TR.

Jenn1 - your printer is a PIXMA MP210 - that's the model.

You'll find all of the drivers and software available for it HERE.

For easy access to this page, it's best to create a My Canon Account at canon.us/account and register the printer - regardless how long you've had it. The My Canon Account page will act as a hub for information, software, and resources for your printer.

This is an older model, so it's not compatible with "modern" computer operating systems (Windows 10, or anything above macOS 10.8 - Mountain Lion). If you've upgraded your computer to a newer OS, you'll need to upgrade your printer to a modern printer that is also compatible. Our Canon Upgrade Program specialists can help you with choosing an appropriate replacement at a discount. They're at 1-866-443-8002 weekdays from 9am to 9pm (ET), and they're all right here in the USA.

I want to find out my printer model by serial number: [REDACTED SERIAL]. Only what I know it's canon i-sensys.

Hello. i-SENSYS models are not sold or supported here in the USA. If your model isn't on the front or top panel on your unit, you'll need to reach out to Canon in your country or region for assistance. Get started at https://canon.us/globalsupport
