PIXMA MP480 parts needed for Canon Pixma print-scan-copy

pkimball — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 13:52:03 GMT

I cannot find a Model # on my sister's old Pixma & there's nothing like it on Canon's website.
(It has the controls on the top on the right side; the newer models have them on the left.)
It needs a cord for a squarish little input, although it has the sign for USB by it.
It does not appear to have the standard USB port.
I don't know what go into the strange MS Duo & MS DS inputs.
It says it's b&w/color print-copy-scan but the empty space seems to call for one large cartridge--I don't know what type of cartridge I'd need.
I don't know how to use it.
Any advice appreciated!

A printer USB cable is different than a standard USB-A cable. You can get them on Amazon.

MS DUO is a kind of old memory card (MS-Memory Stick).

Look all around the device for some sort of label or information box. Sometimes they are molded into the case, so they are difficult to see.

Hey, thanks so much! I did finally find the Model number--MP480.
It must be pretty old as I don't see a USB port for printing directly from a flash drive.
Anyway, thanks again.
Best regards,
